DEP is offering a $100 incentive credit to encourage customers to enroll in autopay. This limited time opportunity will only run for three months, until Nov. 15, so interested customers should sign up immediately. Those who enroll in autopay are required to receive e-bills, which eliminates physical paper bills and is therefore a more environmentally friendly alternative. DEP is launching this savings program as a follow-up to the successful amnesty program that forgave interest charges for customers who paid their overdue water bills.

Autopay allows customers to pay their bills automatically on the due date, or a specific date each month, and avoid the hassle of remembering to pay on time. The autopay feature automatically deducts a customer’s balance or payment amount from their bank account or credit card. Approximately 100,000 accounts, or 12% of DEP’s customers, are currently enrolled in autopay. This initiative aims to increase enrollment, which will help keep accounts current, increase customer satisfaction, and reduce the volume of bill inquiries to our call center, borough offices and correspondence unit.

Customers are eligible if they sign up for autopay using their My DEP account through Nov. 15. They must be enrolled in monthly billing, e-billing and cannot be delinquent on bills. If a customer has multiple accounts, all accounts can be eligible for the non-refundable $100 one-time credit, if all the program requirements are met.

Plus, setting it doesn’t mean forgetting it—customers will receive monthly notifications that their payment is scheduled and paid. Customers are required to stay current on their bills and be enrolled in autopay, e-billing, and monthly billing for six months after the $100 credit is applied to the account. If any of these qualifying actions are altered, the $100 credit will be revoked.

Additional info can be found at nyc.gov/dep/autopay, on our social media channels @NYCWater, or by calling DEP Customer Service at (718) 595-7000. (Please note that only property owners can enroll in autopay, monthly billing, and e-billing. DEP staff cannot enroll customers’ accounts into these services.)

A walkthrough was held by Community Board #2 Manhattan (CB2) on Thursday, March 23, 2023 to observe conditions in the area bounded by Canal St. (south), Grand St. (north), Thompson St. (east) and Varick St. (west) in relation to projects that are or will be taking place in and around that vicinity and whose activities, in some cases, may overlap.

Those in attendance included representatives from MTA NYC Transit (NYCT), the NYC Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP), the NYC Dept. of Parks & Recreation (DPR), the NYC Dept. of Transportation (DOT), Trinity Church Wall Street , Taconic Investment Partners, the Hudson Square Business Improvement District, NYS Senator Brian Kavanagh, NYS Assembly Member Deborah Glick, NYC Council Member Christopher Marte, and members of CB2. The sign-in sheet attachment lists all those attending but Rich Caccapolo, CB2 Parks/Waterfront Committee chair and Shirley Secunda, CB2 Traffic/Transportation Committee chair, who also attended but didn’t sign in.

The purpose of the walkthrough was to learn more about the conduct of the following projects that at times will occur at the same time in the same area, in relation to each other’s operations and to assure an ongoing exchange of information, coordination of activities and of schedules to avoid negative impacts:

• NYCT – power substation construction, already underway, underneath the Grand Canal Courts, intersection of Thompson St., Canal St., & 6th Ave. – continuing to the end of 2025 (the surface level park will reopen in the 3rd Quarter of 2024).
•  DEP – sewage pumping station replacement, Canal & Sullivan Sts. (directly across the street from NYCT’s project) – 2024 to 2026.
• Taconic – construction of 465-ft.-tall, 26-story building at 76 Varick St. (to be called 2 Hudson Sq.) beginning 2024 pursuant to a 99-year ground lease with Trinity Church Wall Street currently in final negotiations.

These also would need to be considered in relation to the Holland Tunnel North Tube nighttime closure for Hurricane Sandy repairs by Port Authority (PANYNJ) through the 3rd quarter of 2025.

Discussed at the Walkthrough

 NYCT Substation Project – At present motor vehicles can come south (next to the project barrier) on Thompson St. from Grand to Canal St.  When digging up on Thompson to move utilities, a locked gate will be set up in the middle of that block (south of Grand) to prevent traffic from entering, but a lane will be preserved for pedestrian access. The site is active 7am-4:30 pm. Above groundwork is done only on weekdays.  Deliveries occur primarily when pouring concrete (takes 4 hours).  Other deliveries are sporadic.  Cement trucks line up on 6th Ave.  They back into the yard with flagging.  Currently staging is done at the 55 Hudson Sq. (76 Varick) development site.  DOT allows this temporary spot for staging.  There is no permit.  It will be used until they’re forced to leave (so far, no alternative has been ascertained).  A Project Hotline has been set up: 212-431-3993.

DEP Sewage Pumping Station Project – The vent tower will be 11-12 ft. tall and in the sidewalk on Canal St.  Staging will be on the north part of Sullivan St. and a small part of Duarte Sq., mostly for the field office (trailer). (Sullivan and Duarte are on the same level). Pedestrians won’t be able to access Sullivan when work is going on.  One or two box trucks and five pickup trucks are typically used in a day; five trucks are the maximum in a typical day. Two lanes on Canal St. (next to the project) will be closed from 11pm-7am for 3 months (probably within the last 3-5 months). Flagging is used, and if necessary, DOT would have NYPD do enforcement. Maintenance is done regularly for about 15-20 minutes, avoiding interference with the schedule. DEP repaves when the project is completed.  DOT will put DEP in touch with their permit office to coordinate relocation of the bike share area.  DEP has met with Taconic and they will coordinate.

Taconic/Trinity – The project will be initiated in 2024 with construction from 2025 through 2026.  The first six stories will be a public school. (approximately 444 school seats).  There’s a 6-month agreement between Trinity and h NYCT re staging and month to month after the 6 months.  Taconic has yet to coordinate with DOT re their own staging and other plans.  They expect Varick St. will have staging and truck access.  DOT is involved on the periphery. Varick St. at Grand St. will be the entryway.  Mitigation: Trucks will be washed down, and flagging will be used.

Taconic/Trinity will consider working with DEP to  provide a hotline together for the public in 2024.

All have agreed to come back to CB2 in the future to report on their coordination of activities and mitigation and to provide project updates.

In addition, PANYNJ has expressed their willingness to speak with whomever they need to in order to make sure they’re coordinating across agencies.

This project includes repairs and replacement of various systems and structural elements suffering from latent salt damage and installation of flood protection. Our contractor has requested that we switch our overnight closures from the current New Jersey Bound Closures to New York Bound for a period of two weeks to install retractable barriers in the South Tunnel at both the NJ and NY portals.

What this means is that the HOLLAND TUNNEL WILL BE CLOSED TO NEW YORK BOUND TRAFFIC OVERNIGHTS BEGINNING SUNDAY, JULY 23RD AND FINISHING SUNDAY AUGUST 6TH. During this time, New Jersey bound traffic will be open.

On August 6th, we will resume the current New Jersey bound closures until the project is completed.

The current New Jersey Bound closure schedule is:

* Sunday night 11:00 p.m. – 5:30 a.m.
* Monday night 11:00 p.m. – 5:30 a.m.
* Tuesday night 11:00 p.m. – 5:30 a.m.
* Wednesday night 11:00 p.m. – 5:30 a.m.
* Thursday night 11:00 p.m. – 5:30 a.m.
* Friday night 11:59 p.m. – 9:00 a.m.
* Saturday night No Scheduled Closures

The Port Authority’s robust community outreach plan includes social media and radio advertisements, email notifications, digital roadside signage, 511 messages, and as a partnership with Waze and other travel  apps to proactively notify motorists who currently use the Holland Tunnel of upcoming changes. We have been in touch with our local partners in the region including– NYC DOT, NYS DOT, NJ DOT, NJ Turnpike, to alert them of this change.

Presentation by MTA-NYC Transit on the 14th St. Station ADA project (F line/L line).

Plans were presented for construction that will bring ADA accessibility to both the 14th St./6th Ave. (servicing the L, F and M lines) and 14th St./7th Ave. (servicing the 1, 2 and 3 lines) subway stations, including adding nine elevators, new and/or refurbished accessible stairways, and platform and mezzanine improvements (refurbishments and/or new ones).  There will be three elevators at the northeast corner of 6th Ave., one from the street to the upper and lower mezzanine levels, one from the lower mezzanine to the L platform level, and one from the upper mezzanine to the F uptown platform.  Three more elevators will be at 6th Ave.’s northwest corner, two of them giving access from the L platform to the 1, 2, 3 passageway and to transfer to the F/M downtown.  There will be work for the 7th Ave. station on 12th, 13th and 14th Sts. corners along 7th Ave.  Three new elevators will include one giving access from the street to the mezzanine level, one giving access from the mezzanine to the northbound platforms, and one giving access from the mezzanine level to the southbound platform.  The passageway between 6th and 7th Aves. will be made ADA compliant.  There will be structural steel and concrete repairs throughout the L tunnel and to the wall and ceiling on the L line from 1st to 8th Ave.

Construction will require opening the ground to put in elevators.  Ground level work will take place from 7 am to 3 pm.  Underground work will go on 24 hours, within barricades when trains are in service.  There will be pedestrian walkways established around the work areas, and the 6th Ave. bike lane will be maintained.  Mitigation measures during construction will include directional signage, posting of notifications of service disruptions and closures, maintenance of walking surfaces free of trip hazards, maintenance of visibility around barricaded work areas, flagging of moving equipment, dust monitoring, housekeeping for cleanliness, noise and vibration monitoring and control, maintenance of adequate illumination, and physical barriers around work zones.  Once the project is completed a new wayfinding system will be installed directing people to where the new elevators and stairs are located.  The project is expected to be completed in 2024.  For further information, contact: [email protected].  There’s also a 24/7 hotline phone number: 800-374-9042.
