Wanaque, New Jersey
Home to more than 10,000 residents, Wanaque of Passaic County, New Jersey is a beautiful and wooded borough to live in. When first settled upon Wanaque was primarily farmland but over the decades it has become more and more urbanized.
1922 marked the beginning of the 8 year long construction of the Wanaque Reservoir. This reservoir has been providing many New Jersey cities with water for over 80 years now, but surprisingly not the borough of Wanaque! Its said that over $25 million dollars was spent on this project and the reservoir can hole almost 30 billion gallons of water! This came in handy when the droughts of 1929 and 1932 struck. And during that second drought a new plan was implemented, the Ramapo program. This programs pumped water from the Ramapo River at Pompton Lakes into the reservoir, which was an additional $5 million more.
