The Champagne of Drinking Water

While New York City’s driving water is famous for its pristine taste, it may not be “Champagne of drinking water” as its referred too. New York is still at the better half when it comes to drinking water in the nation. The city ranked 13th place among the 100 metropolitan areas included in the EWG’s most current rankings. The rankings are based on the amount of chemicals detected pollutants in the water. But where does the city’s drinking water come from? Ninety percent of the water comes from the Catskill Mountains where waters from tributary rivers collect in 19 reservoirs. The other 10% comes from smaller watersheds in Westchester and Rye.
