SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

Each year the Division of Water Distribution makes repairs to water lines throughout the City. Once those repairs are complete, the Division of Road and Bridge Maintenance will repair/replace the area of the road that was accessed. Road and Bridge Maintenance charges Water Distribution for equipment, materials, and time. Due to the vast number of repairs, there is a backlog of work that in recent months Road and Bridge Maintenance has worked to complete.
