Understanding and paying your water and sewer bill

All properties within New York City that receive Water and Sewer service from the NYC Water Board via the Department of Environmental Protection are billed for those services in the form of Water and Sewer bills. Most properties are billed based upon consumption at the premises, which is measured by a water meter at the head of the water service pipe where it enters the building. Each property connected to the ‘system’ should have at least one Account, (but there may be several), which details the method of billing and is usually mailed to the property owner quarterly.
