Gilboa Dam Article
This 1919 article on the Gilboa Dam is from The World Magazine. The Schoharie Reservoir that the Dam is a part of provides around 15% of New York City’s drinking water, with the rest provided by Ashokan, Cannonsville, Neversink, Pepacton, Rondout, and others in the Croton Reservoir System.
This article finishes by saying the project will take five and a half years to complete. In reality, it took about eight years. It was meant to originally cost around $6.8 million and ended up costing about one million more.
