Under the agreements that allowed New York City to construct the water supply system, the City is required to furnish, upon request, supplies of drinking water to municipalities and water districts in eight northern counties where water supply facilities or watersheds are located.

There are more than 60 connections to the Water Supply System by upstate communities. Those connections provide an average of 120 million gallons a day to approximately 1 million people. Any connection to the City Water Supply System is made at the local community's expense. Communities pay for all water consumed at a rate on par with in-City rates.
