New Yorkers shouldn't be alarmed if your water tastes or smells slightly different next month. Repairs to the system that brings water into our homes and businesses may require the water to come from a different source, which will explain the change in taste.
Joe Torres reports that the DEP will alter NYC's water source to rely more on the Croton Watershed to make much-needed repairs to a leak.For years, New York City has won praise for the quality and taste of our water.But now, repairs to the system that brings that water into our homes and businesses may require some of it to come from another source.
"We've engaged in a 20-year-long effort to build a bypass tunnel so that we can route water around that leak, so we don't lose that water going forward," DEP Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala said. "Just like different brands of bottled water taste a bit different, so do our different reservoirs. While some residents may notice a temporary, subtle difference in taste or aroma during the repairs as we change our famous blend, our water remains clean and safe to drink," Aggarwala said.
