Re: Follow-up to September 20, 2001 letter
Dear Deputy Commissioner Chapin:
In a letter to you dated September 20, 2001,1 indicated that in our efforts to restore utility
services in the wake of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center, Con Edison Gas
Operations had received approval from NYCDEP’s Robert LaGrotta on September 16, 2001 to
pump water from a gas main at West and Rector Streets into the street. At that time a total of
approximately 75 gallons had been pumped. We indicated that we would keep track of any
additional water pumped from that main. This is to advise you that subsequent to September 20,
no additional pumping at the site occurred. Attached for your information are sampling results
for the approximately 75 gallons of water pumped into the street from the gas main at West and
Rector Streets.
Again, Con Edison greatly appreciates the prompt assistance offered by NYCDEP to effect a
rapid restoration of utility services to the affected portions of lower Manhattan.
Very truly yours,
Randolph Price
Vice President
