GEOLOGY OF THE NEW YORK CITY AQUEDUCT 1 5 



Allowing for contingencies and costs for engineering supervision 

 the system is estimated to cost $176,000,000 and many years will 

 be required for its completion. The present plans, however, con- 

 template only the immediate development of the Esopus watershed, 

 the storage reservoirs near the city and the main aqueduct to the 

 various points of delivery within the city limits. It is expected 

 that part of this additional supply of water will be available by the 

 year 1913, or early in 19 14.
