Mayor Eric Adams has never laid out his own infrastructure plan, and his failure to impose discipline on the city budget threatens to overwhelm the plan he inherited.
During the morning downpour, the city’s drainage system exceeded its 1.5- to 2-inch-per-hour capacity.We can quibble with Adams’ immediate response.But the bigger problem is long term. If New York wants to drain water faster, it will have to upgrade sewers.
Overall, the city will spend $9.3 billion over the next decade on sewers, about 6% of its total $160.6 billion in infrastructure maintenance and upgrades. Outstanding water-related debt is already set to increase from $32.1 billion to $37.8 billion five years from now. But that means taking money from the rest of the city’s $160.6 billion 10-year infrastructure budget.
