The Delaware Aqueduct is the newest of the New York City aqueducts. It takes water from the Rondout Reservoir through the Chelsea Pump Station, the West Branch Reservoir, and the Kensico Reservoir, ending at the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, New York. This feed forms the bulk of New York City's drinking water supply. It was constructed between 1939 and 1945, and carries approximately half of NYC's 1.3 billion US gallons per day water demand. The Delaware Aqueduct leaks up to 35 million gallons per day. At 137 km (85 miles) long and 4.11 meters (13.5 ft) wide the Delaware Aqueduct is the world's longest continuous underground tunnel.
