It is the collecting point for water from all reservoirs in the Croton Watershed.

Its waters traveled by aqueduct to the Croton Distributing Reservoir in midtown Manhattan.

The New York State National Guard was called in to protect replacement workers and violence ensued.

Its waters flow into the New Croton Aqueduct, then into the Jerome Park Reservoir in the Bronx.

Water from the Jerome Park Reservoir is normally distributed to parts of Manhattan, the Bronx, and western Queens.
