About the Jerome Park Reservoir Gatehouse No. 5
Welcome to Jerome Park Reservoir Gatehouse No. 5, a cornerstone of New York City's water supply infrastructure located at 3055 Goulden Avenue, The Bronx, New York 10468. Our facility recently underwent a comprehensive $15.7 million upgrade, completed by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), to enhance the resilience and security of the reservoir. This investment ensures that we continue to deliver a reliable supply of high-quality water to over 8.8 million residents across the city.
The rehabilitation project, initiated in 2018, focused on the vital gatehouses that regulate the flow of water in and out of the reservoir. Improvements included refurbishing Gatehouses No. 5 and No. 7, cleaning and repairing brick facades, installing new security systems, and replacing the roof of Gatehouse No. 7. Additionally, historically appropriate lighting and railings were added to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of the site.
Significant work was also carried out around the reservoir's perimeter to improve accessibility and security. A new four-foot-high fence replaced the previous 10-foot-high one, offering better operational access and public views. Security enhancements were made with the installation of new cameras and traffic-control bollards.
Looking ahead, a $38 million project is set to commence later this year, focusing on further structural improvements, including stabilizing the eastern wall and upgrading infrastructure around the reservoir. This project aims to preserve Jerome Park Reservoir's critical role in the city's water supply for decades to come.
Built between 1894 and 1905, Jerome Park Reservoir spans 94 acres with a storage capacity of 770 million gallons. It remains an essential component of the Croton Water Supply System, contributing to about 10% of the city's daily drinking water supply.
