New York City water quality: then

Almost since its inception, New York City has used a complex system of aqueducts to transport water from outside the city to its residents. Prior to the 1830s, the city distributed water through hollow logs laid in the streets, leaving the water exposed to dirt, grime, and contaminants. In the 1830s, the city switched to cast iron pipes to bring in water from the Croton River.

The Old Croton Aqueduct was built in the 1830s to provide water to over 60,000 residents. By the early 1900s, New York City residents needed more water, and city officials turned to the Catskill Mountain region. After construction of the Catskill Aqueduct completed in 1927, city officials set right out on the development of the Delaware Aqueduct, which pulls from the headwaters and tributaries of the Delaware River in New York State.

Worried about contaminants in your drinking water? We offer a full complement of water filtration and sanitization technologies to remove sediment, reduce chemical contaminants, including lead, and get rid of off-tastes and odors. Depending on your local water quality, your water expert may recommend our NSF-certified carbon filtration, which works great for water with TDS (total dissolved solids) levels under 250 ppm (parts per million) or our NSF-certified reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, which is the standard for water with TDS levels over 250ppm.
