Nyack Water Works, also known as the Nyack Water Works Company was established on March 28, 1873 by William Voorhis and initially drew water from springs and wells.[1] Population growth led to the use of three reservoirs, the Hackensack River and a steam-powered pump house.[2][3] The Nyack Water Department was created when the Village of Nyack purchased Nyack Water Works from Voorhis' family via eminent domain for $107,000 in 1896 (equivalent to $3,918,768 in 2023) after other attempts to provide water to the villages.[4][5][6]
