Sep 30, 2024, 01:15 PM

New York City has initiated a $2 billion project to repair a crucial water tunnel that supplies half of the city's water. The Delaware Aqueduct bypass tunnel project, announced by the NYC Mayor at the Queens Museum, aims to ensure the continuity of the city's high-quality drinking water for future generations. The museum features a replica of the watershed. During the repair, residents may notice a change in the taste of their tap water as alternative sources are utilized more heavily. Despite the temporary change in taste, officials assure that water flow will remain uninterrupted.
