NYC tap water may taste slightly different as repair on major water supply system starts

Tap water may taste a bit different in the coming months amid the start of repairs on the city’s water supply system, officials announced at the Queens Museum in Corona on Monday. 

Situated underneath the Hudson River upstate, the Delaware Aqueduct serves as the main water delivery system for faucets around the city. However, the 79-year-old tunnel is currently ejecting 35 million gallons of water, equivalent to 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools, daily.
