Help Save The Reservoir Now
Jersey City’s historic Reservoir #3, a magnificent greenspace in our densely built city, is presently endangered, not by development or demolition, but by our own City Hall. The City is about to begin construction of an ill-conceived project that would drastically diminish the peace and beauty of the Reservoir, and the home it provides to wildlife. Please write to the Mayor and your City Council representatives to urge them to adopt better, more historically and environmentally sensitive plans for this extraordinary greenspace.
