New York City Department of Environmental Protection

DEP manages the city’s water supply, providing more than one billion gallons of water each day to more than nine million residents, including eight million in New York City. The water is delivered from a watershed that extends more than 125 miles from the city, comprising 19 reservoirs and three controlled lakes. DEP employs nearly 6,000 employees, including approximately 750 in the upstate watershed with a payroll of $49 million. DEP has a robust capital program, with a planned $13.2 billion in investments over the next 10 years, creating approximately 3,000 jobs each year.
