Did you ever stop to think how one of the most famous cities in the world gets clean drinking water to its residents? The process is both interesting and somewhat surprising. For instance:

Did you know a certain watershed pretty far from the bright lights of Broadway accounts for 90% of New York City’s water?

Do you have any idea how long it can take for water to wind its way to the city?

Finally, can you fill in the blank for the statement “NYC’s has been called the -________ of drinking water”? Is it: Nectar, Champagne, or swill ?
