Croton Water Filtration Plant, Water treatment facility in Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, United States
The Croton Water Filtration Plant processes 290 million gallons of drinking water daily through a complex system of sand filtration and ultraviolet disinfection technologies.
Constructed between 2007 and 2015, this facility reintroduced water from the Croton supply system into New York City's distribution network after a seven-year interruption.
The facility demonstrates New York City's response to environmental regulations and public health requirements through infrastructure development beneath a public recreation area.
Located 160 feet underground, the plant removes 99.9 percent of harmful microorganisms from water sourced from upstate reservoirs before distribution to city residents.
The facility contains 27,000 tons of reinforced steel and spans 400,000 square feet, making it larger than Yankee Stadium and the biggest underground filtration plant nationwide.
