What Price Water?
The construction of the Ashokan Reservoir and the Catskill Aqueduct to provide
NYC with water has been likened to the building of the Panama canal,

New signs commemorate lost towns
MARGARETVILLE, N.Y., June 15, 2004 - Road signs are being installed this summer marking
the former locations of 26 communities displaced by five New York City reservoirs in the Catskill
Region. The signs are part of a commemorative project coordinated by the Catskill Watershed
Corporation(CWC in cooperation with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.
(DEP). In 2002, six roadside exhibits were erected - one at each reservoir - to explain the histor-
ies of the former towns, and the building of the vast New York City water system.
 New signs have been installed in the Rondout basin, signs pay tribute to three towns:
Eureka, Montela and Lackawack.
