Abstract
The New Croton Reservoir was constructed in 1892—1906 to store an additional supply of water from the Croton water—shed for the City of New York. An aqueduct, 33.12 miles long, having a capacity of about 300 000 000 gal. per day, was built to convey the water from this reservoir to the city. The reservoir was formed by constructing a high masonry dam (Plate LXVIII) across the Croton River, about 6 miles above its mouth. According to the original plans, the dam was to be built across the Croton River a short distance above the old “Quaker Bridge,” the proposed structure being called the Quaker Bridge Dam.
