The Jerome Park Reservoir is located in the North Bronx, New York City. The Bronx High School of Science, Lehman College, and Park Reservoir Housing Corporation apartment buildings surround the reservoir.
Since 1996, local Bronx residents have fought to stop the city from converting the site to a water treatment plant. It was thought that the noise, chemicals, and unsightly construction would decrease the quality of life for area residents. It is unclear if the construction will take place.
