NY City Drinking Water Supply: City Officials Say Drilling in Watershed Has Risks By Sindya N. Bhanoo \| NY Times \| December 24, 2009 New York City environmental officials said Wednesday that months of scientific research had indicated that hydraulic drilling for natural gas upstate could contaminate the watershed serving the city. The study, undertaken by the city’s Department of Environmental Protection, also showed that the drilling could damage infrastructure, including aqueducts, the officials told the city’s water board at a briefing. In a forceful letter to the State Department of Environmental Conservation on Tuesday, the city’s acting environmental commissioner, Steven W. Lawitts, called on the state to withdraw its draft regulations approving the drilling. Yancey Roy, a spokesman for the state agency, said it had no comment. The draft regulations apply to a technology called hydraulic fracturing in the Marcellus Shale region of New York, which includes the city’s watershed region in the Catskills. The watershed area spans a million acres and provides unfiltered drinking water to about 8.2 million people in New York City and a million people in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess Counties.
