The shutdown to repair the Delaware Aqueduct is set for Oct. 1, and scheduled to be completed by June 1, 2025.
The twice-postponed project seeks to repair a minor leak near Warwarsing in Ulster County, NY, and a major leak under the Hudson River, which is the path used to get Delaware River water to New York City.
On Tuesday, May 21, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection is holding a meeting in Hancock, NY, for the public to learn more about the impacts of the Delaware Aqueduct Shutdown to the Upper Delaware River.
Tim Bruno spoke with Jeff Skelding, President of the Friends of The Upper Delaware River who are hosting the meeting.
