On Saturday, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer held a press conference at the Central Park Reservoir to call attention to the concern that drinking water for 8 million New Yorkers may be threatened by toxic chemicals.
The chemicals could find their way into the water supply if a proposal to allow drilling for natural gas in the upstate watershed proceeds. The Sierra Club, Riverkeeper and others also oppose the drilling. All call for the state to ban such drilling in or near areas
that feed the city's reservoirs.
Several hours later, this access cover, about a foot long, was spotted on Broadway at 133rd Street.
