When a property owner wishes to install a meter, DEP requirements are highly specific, and most plumbers are not familiar with NYC meter installation standards.

The Department of Environmental Protection has a Communication Division (ACC), Theft of Service (TOS), or delayed water bills, all of which can cause major problems for building owners. It is essential to work with a specialist who understands NYC water meter regulations.
