Approve Sewer Overflow Retention System in Brooklyn and Queens

✦ Plain-Language Summary

This resolution approves a new combined sewer overflow retention system in Brooklyn (Community District 1) and Queens (Community Districts 2 and 5). The system is designed to capture and hold excess sewage and stormwater that would otherwise flow untreated into local waterways during heavy rain. This infrastructure improvement will help reduce water pollution and protect the health of local communities and surrounding waterways.
