New York City temporarily shuts down Delaware Aqueduct for $2bn repair project on leaks.

New York City has temporarily shut down the Delaware Aqueduct, which provides about half of its water, for a $2 billion repair project aimed at fixing significant leaks beneath the Hudson River. The shutdown, expected to last up to eight months, will connect a parallel 2.5-mile bypass tunnel and address leaks in the aqueduct. While water supply will remain uninterrupted, residents may notice slight changes in taste due to increased reliance on other reservoirs.
