Summer College Intern The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) enriches the environment and protects public health for all New Yorkers by providing 1.1 billion gallons of high quality drinking water, managing wastewater and stormwater, and reducing air, noise, and hazardous materials pollution. DEP is the largest combined municipal water and wastewater utility in the country, with nearly 6,000 employees. DEP's water supply system is comprised of 19 reservoirs and 3 controlled lakes throughout the system's 2,000 square mile watershed that extends 125 miles north and west of the City. New York City's water and wastewater system is funded through the collection of water and sewer charges, which are established and revised, as needed, by the independent Water Board. Each year, DEP collects, on behalf of the Board, nearly $4.0 billion in revenue from 836,000 ratepayers. These funds support DEP's operations and debt service. The debt service supports DEP's robust capital program to ensure the long term reliability of the system. Over the next ten years, DEP plans to spend $29 billion across the system to upgrade wastewater treatment plants; reservoirs, dams and other upstate assets; and in-City water mains and sewers, including green infrastructure. DEP is also in the process of standing up a new Bureau of Coastal Resilience to plan and implement infrastructure that protects the City from the impacts of climate change and storm surge. The Budget Office plays a central role in ensuring adequate funds are available to meet our broad and critical mandate. The agency's Budget Office manages DEP's capital, expense, grant, and miscellaneous revenue budgets; prepares budget and financial analyses and reports; and coordinates the Agency's budget and financial matters with the Mayor's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and other oversight agencies.
