Repair/Relay of a Water Service Line
All repair/relay permit applications should now be filed online through the Permit and Review Information System (PARIS). If you are not already registered, visit PARIS and follow the instructions to create an account and profile. Please contact the PARIS/WSPS Support Line at 718-595-3088 or email paris@dep.nyc.gov with any questions.
If you are conducting a repair/relay of a water service line (pink form), you must also provide a fixture count of the entire property, which is required to determine the proper size of any relayed service line. Please note that while repairs may be performed with emergency permits from the New York City Department of Transportation, a DEP permit is required for all relays. Repairs are not permitted on lead service lines; relay is required in all cases where lead is present. In addition, service connections 5/8-inch or greater must be plugged and a new tap must be installed that is properly sized for the fixture count.
