The Tarrytown Reservoir is a 81 acres (0.33 km2) storage reservoir in Tarrytown, New York. It was completed in 1897 by the City of Tarrytown as the city's main storage reservoir. The reservoir was formed by the Tarrytown Waterworks Dam which impounded a tributary of the Saw Mill River. The reservoir itself has a maximum capacity of 1,100 acre feet (1,400,000 m3).[1]
The Tarrytown Waterworks Dam is earthen, 18 foot (5.5 m) high, 315 foot (96 m) long and drains an area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2).[2]
