UPDATE: NYC DEP issues approval of WJWW Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan

UPDATE: NYC DEP issues approval of WJWW Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan on May 26, 2023.

WJWW needs to build a Water Filtration Plant on a site adjoining Westchester County Airport, New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP) approval demonstrates WJWW compliance with strict NYC DEP rules and regulations for the protection of Kensico Reservoir/Rye Lake and its watershed, and protects against any additional stormwater impact on downstream properties that may be potentially caused by construction of the Water Filtration Plant at the Airport site. Kensico Reservoir/Rye Lake is a water source for WJWW, and as such, WJWW is keenly aware of the necessity of protecting the Kensico Reservoir Watershed.  WJWW currently has water treatment facilities and other facilities on the Kensico Reservoir Watershed, and we have operated within the Watershed, without incident, for 75 years.
