About Croton Falls Reservoir

The Croton Falls Reservoir is a small reservoir that is located in Putnam County, New York in the Croton Watershed. It is within the townships of Carmel, New York and Southeast, New York, making it over 30 miles north of New York City which the reservoir supplies water to. It was formed by impounding the West Branch and Middle Branch of the Croton River, which are tributaries of the Muscoot River, which in turn is a tributary of the Croton River, which flows into the Hudson River.

The resulting reservoir, which was placed into service in 1911, can hold 14.2 billion gallons of water at full capacity, and has a drainage basin of 16 square miles. This includes all the bodies of water that flow into the reservoir, except for other reservoirs. Water sources in the basin include Michaels Brook and Lake Gilead one of four controlled lakes in the Croton Watershed. The reservoir itself is split into three portions by Putnam County Routes 35 and 38, which cross over the reservoir with causeways and bridges.

The drinking water that comes from the reservoir flows through the Muscoot Reservoir in Westchester County, New York and then enters the New Croton Reservoir to enter the New Croton Aqueduct. It finally enters New York City, flowing through The Bronx and into the Jerome Park Reservoir which is located in said borough. It then flows into Manhattan where it joins the Catskill Aqueduct. It finally flows through the rest of Manhattan, and enters the borough of Brooklyn, coming to a stop at Staten Island.
