NYC’s water is the best drink on tap!

Every day, more than one billion gallons of water make their way from the Catskill Mountains over 100 miles away in upstate New York to homes and businesses across New York City. Our tap water is clean, high-quality, and delicious. It’s what makes New York bagels and pizza so good!

There’s no need to buy bottled water in NYC — just grab a reusable water bottle and fill it up anywhere in the five boroughs. New York City has 19 reservoirs on protected watershed land, and we test the water thousands of times a day. You’re always getting the very best water we have on tap!
