NYC DEP Cross Connection Design
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires backflow prevention devices to protect the city’s public water supply from contamination or pollution. Buildings such as residences, restaurants, breweries, offices, warehouses, laundromats, etc. pose a potential risk of contamination to NYC’s water supply.
HBE can review and determine if your property requires compliance with NYC DEP cross connection rules for water and sprinkler services. We can prepare the connection design and inspect the backflow prevention device installation. Backflow prevention device types include double check valve assembly, reduced pressure zone assembly, double check detector assembly, and reduced principal zone detector assembly.

and Site Connection Designs
New York City is faced with increasing challenges managing stormwater runoff. Unmanaged stormwater runoff overburdens the City’s sewer system causing sewer overflows, floods, and sewer backups. The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) limits the stormwater flow into the sewer system using its approval process for new sewer connections. This requires properties to have stormwater detention/retention systems. HBE can prepare a design for storm detention system (tank, blue roof), storm retention (dry wells, storm chambers) and new connections.
