What is a DEP 3-Day Water Shutoff Notice?

A DEP 3-Day Notice is issued by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection when a leak is found on the water service line between the street main and the property owner's house.

Property owners are given 3 business days from the date of the notice to complete the required repairs. The property owner must hire a licensed outdoor plumber to perform the necessary work.

After the 3-business-day period, a DEP inspector will return to determine whether the required repairs have been completed.

Failure to address the notice can result in a $1,000 fine on the property's next water bill, followed by a 10-day notice and potential water service shutoff.
