Out of the Archives: A pump float and the truck designed to transport it through Manhattan on July 18, 1918. Shown here about to be loaded at Morningside Avenue and West 121st Street, it was part of the drainage equipment for City Water Tunnel No. 1, which has reliably delivered the world’s best tap water to NY’ers for more than a century. http://bit.ly/2tKkvDE. #tbt

Out of the Archives: #OnThisDay in 1842, Croton water began flowing into the Distributing Reservoir at Murray Hill. Some 25,000 visitors climbed the steps to the top of the reservoir that day to see for themselves, while downtown at City Hall the Mayor and City Council celebrated with Croton cocktails: Croton water over ice with a slice of lemon! Throughout planning and construction, it was very important to the city for the reservoir to open on Independence Day. So on this July 4th we also celebrate 182 years of the best water in the world! (Need some orientation? The The New York Public Library Schwarzman Building and Bryant Park now occupy the former sites of the reservoir and Crystal Palace on its right. Visit the library to see part of the surviving reservoir wall. This 1855 print is from the NYPL Digital Collections, Image ID ps_prn_cd11_166.)

Out of the Archives: Today in 1948, it was time to mow the lawn at NYC’s first “modern” wastewater treatment plant. Built in 1935 when there was still farmland nearby, now the Coney Island Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility looks completely different after many upgrades and cleans more than 110 million gallons of wastewater from 600,000 Brooklyn residents every day, protecting the waterways and beaches in the area. June 27, 1948. http://bit.ly/2tKkvDE. #tbt

Out of the Archives: Today, in 1916, skilled workers were reinforcing the Catskill Aqueduct’s Eastview Tunnel to keep it watertight and ready to carry water along the rest of its 92-mile journey to the taps of NYC just like it still does today!

Out of the Archives: Meet Mr. B. Alert, a circa-1960 mascot of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity strutting on a safety plan for the protection of street work areas. As DEP celebrates National Safety Month, here’s a peek at how our predecessor kept employees and the public safe during pipe repairs. Gotta say, though, that carrying a bolt of electricity when you have a water droplet head seems pretty risky (and may be why so far we haven’t seen him on any other archival records)!

Out of the Archives: 100 years ago today! Catskill water was nearly on its way into Brooklyn's Park Slope via this new conduit down 8th Avenue, one of several built in the 1920s to branch off from City Water Tunnel No. 1 and deliver water to Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. June 6, 1924. For more NYCDEP History, Click http://bit.ly/2tKkvDE. #NYCWater #tbt #Brooklyn #WaterTunnel #Construction #Engineering #TodayInDEPHistory

Out of the Archives: Jerome Pumping Station is an NYC Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places! Built from 1901-06, it was designed to send water from Jerome Park Reservoir to residents throughout the Bronx. Significantly, pumping water to the top of the tower created enough pressure to reach the upper floors of taller buildings, encouraging the early 20th Century development of the borough.
