In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, New York American Water President William Varley reported there were no major problems throughout its distribution system.
However, New York American Water took precautionary measures to protect the community’s drinking water before the Nor’Easter hit the area.

New York American Water will continue to make safety for its customers and employees its highest priority. Trained personnel will continue to heavily monitor the water distribution system to watch for potential flooding. American Water crews have been assigned to assess damage throughout the storm.
