New York City is set to shut down a key aqueduct providing nearly half the city's water supply this winter. The shutdown is part of a $2 billion project aimed at addressing significant leaks under the Hudson River. The Delaware Aqueduct, located in upstate New York, has been scheduled for this temporary shutdown for years.

A stretch of aqueduct that supplies more than half of New York City’s water is being shut down through the winter as part of a $2 billion project to address massive leaks beneath the Hudson River.
