Mayor Eric Adams announced the completion of a nearly $50 million sewage and water main overhaul in southeast Queens on Wednesday. The construction was aimed at alleviating flooding that’s consistently walloped the area for years.
Mayor Eric Adams announced the completion of a sewer project in Queens today.
The Department of Environmental Protection project brings six miles of new sewers and water mains to the neighborhood of Rochdale, officials said. “Here I am, almost 50 years later, not coming here as merely a resident, but as the mayor of the City of New York, finally dealing with the issues that have impacted communities like this for so long,” Mayor Adams said of the project, which began and was largely completed during former Mayor Bill de Blasio's administration.
