On January 21, 1997, New York State Governor George E. Pataki, and New York City Mayor
Rudolph Giuiliani joined the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, the Coalition of Watershed Towns, and members of the
environmental community in the signing of a landmark "Memorandum
of Agreement" for the long-term protection of water quality in the
New York City Watershed. This online "guide" is designed to
summarize, for the benefit of community leaders and Watershed
residents, the components of the Watershed Agreement, and its
consequences for them and the towns and villages in which they live.
