“The New York City Water Supply System consists of nineteen reservoirs, three lakes, three main aqueducts and over six thousand miles of water mains to deliver water throughout the city. This system was built at the cost of more than thirty towns and villages. Some of these towns were relocated, while others were flooded or razed to create the reservoirs and the buffer lands that surrounded them.”
