A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to an annual report on drainage infrastructure

This local law requires the Commissioner of Environmental Protection to submit an annual report to the Mayor and the Speaker of the Council by February 1st each year. The report will detail the condition of municipal drainage infrastructure, including treatment locations, wastewater pump stations, and sewer regulators. It must also document any instances in the previous year where infrastructure was out of service or operating at reduced capacity, specifying the affected infrastructure, duration, cause, and any actions taken or planned in response. This law takes effect immediately.

Residents will benefit from increased transparency regarding the condition and performance of the city's drainage infrastructure, with potential for improved maintenance and faster response to disruptions.
