Catskill Aqueduct Filter Treatment Plant Back Online For Yorktown

The Northern Westchester Joint Water Works' Catskill Aqueduct Filter Treatment Plant is once again providing water to Yorktown Water District consumers. The NYCDEP had a scheduled shutdown of the Catskill Aqueduct for necessary repairs commencing in October 2021.

The Catskill Aqueduct Filter Treatment water will combine with water provided by the NWJWW's Amawalk Filter Treatment Plant. During this changeover, reversal of water flow may occur. This can lead to discolored or cloudy water in some locations. This will settle out as the distribution system returns to normal flows and output.
