Caption: Marker detail: Reservoir & Tunnel Construction
Additional Description: Take a moment to think about the people who built the reservoirs and dug the 92 miles of tunnel to NYC. Local workers, immigrants and many African Americans lived in rowdy work camps for decades during construction. Notice the massive timbering needed to shore up the soft ground.
