HydroCity — NYC Water Intelligence New York City has a water problem. Flooding, broken sewers, leaking mains, and overwhelmed catch basins affect millions of residents every single day, but until now, there's been no easy way to see what's happening in real time, understand your neighbourhood's history, or do anything about it. HydroCity changes that. Powered by live NYC 311 government data, HydroCity maps every active water infrastructure incident across all five boroughs the moment it's reported. See exactly what's flooding, where it's leaking, and what's been left unresolved, all on a live, interactive map built for the way New Yorkers actually move through the city. Report. Confirm. Inform. Spot an issue on your block? File a report in seconds, attach photo evidence, and push it straight to the community map. Confirm reports from neighbours, track how many people have flagged the same problem, and help build a ground-level picture of what the city's systems aren't catching fast enough. Know Before You Go or Before You Sign. HydroCity's Neighbourhood Profile tool breaks down the water incident history of any NYC area in plain English. Whether you're evaluating a new apartment, scoping a commute route, or just curious about your block, get the facts without the jargon. HydroCity puts the power of city data in your hands. Because knowing what's broken is the first step to fixing it.
