New York City begins $2 billion Delaware Aqueduct repair, with an 8-month shutdown and reliance on northern reservoirs.

New York City is initiating repairs on the Delaware Aqueduct, which has been leaking 35 million gallons daily. This $2 billion project includes an eight-month shutdown, during which the city will rely on northern suburban reservoirs, potentially altering the water's taste due to increased minerals and algae. Mayor Eric Adams reassures residents that the water will remain safe to drink while other leaks are also addressed.
