Ted, Re: <I understand that the aqueducts are so old out East that large quantities of water are 'lost' each year through leakage. Apparently NYC has undertaken a massive project to build a new aqueduct from the Catskills to solve the problem...in fact, its probably done by now.> LOL -- Yes, NYC has a big project underway. It's considered cheaper than putting in meters. Water is charged for by the month, not the gallon in NYC. Or at least it was last time I checked. You can run it down your toilet & drains in any quantity that your leaks allow, but if you spray it on your lawn the waterfuzz harass you. I'm around 25 miles east of the Delaware. Just west of the 'Pine Barons' & south of 'Great Adventure' park. & my guess is that over a 5 year period we could pump the equivalent of Lake Superior out of here and not see the difference. But NYC, Trenton, Camden, Newark, and Phila. pull their water from the Delaware & hold the political power -- and when they say don't water -- the waterfuzz get going. tgptndr tgptndr
