At the same time, New York City was beginning to buy, clear and flood land for its water supply system in the Croton River watershed.
Most of the town's water is supplied today by New York City's Delaware Aqueduct, with the reservoir acting primarily as a backup.
A decade afterwards, in 1837, the Old Croton Aqueduct, no longer in use today but a National Historic Landmark, was built through downtown, to provide water to New York.
The Titicus River is an 8.5 mile river in southwestern Connecticut and southeastern New York that drains into the Titicus Reservoir, part of New York City's water supply system.
