Permit and Review Information System


The Permit and Review Information System (PARIS) is an online platform for for Licensed Master Plumbers, Professional Engineers, and Registered Architects to do business with the Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations (BWSO). This system will replace the Water & Sewer Permitting System (WSPS), in phases, over the next few years. During this transition, users will only need to re-register once to use PARIS.

WSPS users must re-register using their existing WSPS email and password. It is crucial that you use the same email address to register with PARIS, or you will have to submit a new authentication form. During future releases of PARIS, users will keep and maintain their login and password.

For guidance on how to use the system:
