2008-2013 $22M Project to Fix 36 million gallon per day leakage in the system[edit]

New article published yesterday about the underwater reworking of the New York City water system: New York City Water Nightmare is an Underwater Gadget Lover's Dream. Outlines the problem of the leakage/loss of 36 million gallons per day and the "five-year, $22 million diving project" to attempt to fix it.

"[S]ix lucky divers are presently 700 feet beneath the NYC surface, trying to find where one of the bigger leaks is hiding. They're living in a 24-foot pressurized tube that includes "showers, a television and a Nerf basketball hoop," and they're breathing air that is 97.5% helium and 2.5% oxygen." The six divers go "down" for a month at a time. "When the divers aren't squeaking at one another in helium-speak, three of them use a diving bell to go 70 stories down, where they do things like strip out 4,000-lb. bronze pipe fittings. Their twelve hour shifts are divided up into four-hour demolition sessions, one per diver, where they each take a turn breaking concrete to get at a malfunctioning valve array. After four hours, the divers "rest" for eight hours in the murky water, before returning the the cylinder. When they're on break, the divers can have whatever meals they like, although helium tends to dull human taste buds."

Looks like this project should be represented in this WP article. N2e (talk) 15:39, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the project merits mention in this article, but I'm not sure if the current emphasis on the divers and their unusual conditions is appropriate. Since the page topic is the NYC water supply system, the focus of this subsection should be the aqueduct itself. I corrected a few factual errors in the content but wanted the perspective of others before significantly restructuring the repair project subsection. Thoughts? RTBarnard (talk) 00:38, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree with RTBarnard. I originally was going to just leave a note on the Talk page and leave it at that. Then I decided to stub out a new section. I should have put a sectionstub tag on my first-pass draft. Feel free to improve the section with my wholehearted support. N2e (talk) 00:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Needs a map of the system-- would be nice. I am pretty sure one exists somewhere. Thanks in advance... Avram Primack (talk) 15:04, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Needs an update[edit]

"Completion of all phases is not expected until at least 2021." So is it completed already? Is it being used already? 135.0.44.102 (talk) 15:08, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hudson River[edit]

It might be worth mentioning why NYC doesn't get (had never gotten?) its drinking water from the giant Hudson River. -- Beland (talk) 03:15, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
