The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The aqueducts, which were among the first in the United States, carried water by gravity 41 miles from the Croton River in Westchester County to reservoirs in Manhattan.
- It was built because local water resources had become polluted and inadequate for the growing population of New York City.
- Although the aqueduct was largely superseded by the New Croton Aqueduct, which was built in 1885-1890, the Old Croton Aqueduct remained in service until 1955.
