BILL NUMBER:S3765 TITLE OF BILL: An act to direct the city of New York to conduct an analysis of stormwater and groundwater issues in southeast Queens PURPOSE: This bill would require New York City to conduct a detailed analysis of storm water and groundwater issues in Southeast Queens that, at a minimum, evaluates: the feasibility and efficacy of the installation of reverse seepage basins; the status of storm water sewer upgrades; and the potential rehabilitation of former water supply wells, In addition, a report on the findings would be required to be submitted to the Legislature no later than June 30, 2016. SUMMARY 0F PROVISIONS: For one hundred years, from 1897 to 1996, Southwest Queens, NYC received its drinking water from a private company, Jamaica Water Supply Co. (JWS). That company had 69 wells from which it pumped 60 million gallons of water per day from underground. Besides providing water for this community, this pumping extracted water from the ground and kept the standing water level at manageable levels. In 1996, New York City purchased JWS and stopped pumping water from these wells.
