Patterson Reservoir plan opposes OBrien in Croton project
Plans for a Patterson area reservoir in the Croton watershed face opposition from Walter H. Sears and the Aqueduct Commission. John H. O’Brien seeks legal opinion after noting the plan arrived without his department’s consultation. Officials dispute completion status of Croton Falls and Cross River dams, while Patterson would be flooded and rebuilt as West Patterson. The project aims to prevent water famine, with a projected cost about 3.25 million dollars and a potential daily supply of 875 million gallons. The mayor must decide on proceeding.
