Does a building need a backflow preventer?
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires backflow prevention devices on water services where there is a cross-connection hazard.

Concord prepares the DEP application, including the engineering report signed by a New York licensed Professional Engineer.
Who reviews new sewer and water connections?
New or altered connections to the city sewer system go through DEP, which reviews site connection proposals. Water service sizing and connections are also coordinated with DEP. Concord's plumbing design covers the building's storm and sanitary drainage and its domestic water, the systems those connections serve.
