Except as provided herein, the department shall notify via electronic mail all relevant community boards and all relevant district offices of all council members at least forty-eight hours prior to the undertaking of any work by the department or at the request of the department which the department reasonably knows could lead to discolored water, or the reduction or loss of water pressure at water faucets within such district. b. The notice requirements of subdivision a of this section shall not apply in situations where such work must proceed due to an imminent risk to public health or public safety.
