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.

BEDC delivers a substantial multibillion dollar capital program as required to provide for new infrastructure as well as the reconstruction of existing assets to ensure the integrity, continuity, and high quality of the water supply. This work spans the DEP's vast network of wastewater treatment plants, dams, bridges, shafts, reservoirs, tunnels, pumping stations, ultraviolet disinfection system, filtration systems, and associated facilities throughout New York City and its watershed.

The Deputy PM will manage assigned projects, while also overseeing AM staff managing projects within the same program or project groups.
