NYC Watershed

Water Quality Protection Program for the Croton and Kensico Watersheds


In 1997, Westchester County was one of over 80 governmental agencies and environmental groups who signed the historic Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to protect New York City’s drinking water supply.  New York City’s drinking water supply watershed covers 1900 square miles of land in upstate New York. In Westchester County, approximately 800,000 people drink from the watershed’s 19 reservoirs. Twelve of Westchester County’s 45 municipalities lie within the boundaries of the New York City Watershed.

 

The MOA identifies the elements of a groundbreaking watershed protection program which will protect drinking water for almost 9 million New Yorkers without inhibiting the economic vitality of the watershed communities. The MOA consists of the following watershed protection programs:  Land Acquisition; Watershed Regulations; Watershed Protection Programs and a Watershed Protection and Partnership Council.  This web site does not only provide you with general information regarding the MOA, but will emphasize all of Westchester County’s efforts to protect the New York City Watershed
