Kensico Reservoir to Expand New Yorks Water Supply
Condemnation has begun to acquire land for a vast Kensico Reservoir in Westchester to feed New York Citys rapidly expanding water system. The lake will hold about 40 billion gallons, cover roughly 2,259 acres flooded, and require building a 2,900 foot dam and 60 mile aqueduct. Neighborhoods in Valhalla Rye Pond and nearby towns face displacement. engineers project a 25 to 30 mile scenic driveway and multiple road reconstructions. The project, part of a $262 million system, aims to deliver 500 million gallons daily from the Catskills and will take about ten years to complete with a large filtration plant near Yonkers.
