In NYC, some time ago,
The city was starting to grow.
And with that growth, people needed clean water.
So they got water from a borough,
Named Brooklyn. It wasn't good enough.
Bad and smelly, reeking of garbage,
The water became undrinkable. But then they
Brought water, from Chamber Street.
Another fail! Too focused on the bank!
The people still needed clean water!
Croton River? Yes, they tried it.
Immigrants working hard. Clang! Bang!
It took so very long, but they did it.
Then, it was time to make it bigger.
With more water, the city became even larger.
Then, everything, in the water sense, was fine.
The hard work paid off. So keep our water clean.
Good clean water is important, treat it like
Your very best friend.
