Brewster station is a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Harlem Line, located in Brewster, New York. It is the southernmost station in Putnam County. Trains leave for New York City every hour, and about every 25 minutes during rush hour. It is 52 miles (83.7 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time there is approximately one hour, 22 minutes. The station is located in the Zone 7 Metro-North fare zone. A sizable amount of the station's ridership comes from across the Connecticut state line given the quicker trips, shorter headways, and (outside peak hours) lack of a mid-trip transfer to Grand Central as opposed to taking the Danbury Branch of the New Haven Line. Because of this, Housatonic Area Regional Transit (the Greater Danbury-area mass transit provider) has a route and a shuttle connecting Danbury to Brewster station.

The Diverting Reservoir is a reservoir in the New York City water supply system in the town of Southeast, New York, in Putnam County immediately south of the village of Brewster, New York. Part of the system's Croton Watershed, it lies about 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City. Construction impounding the East Branch Croton River began early in the 20th century and was completed by 1911. The Diverting reservoir holds 900 million US gallons (3,400,000 m3) of water at full capacity, making it the smallest in New York City's water supply outside the City itself. Its drainage basin represents 8 square miles (21 km2) of the Croton River watershed. This basin includes the lakes, streams, rivers, and other bodies of water that flow into the reservoir. The Diverting Reservoir is also connected to the nearby Croton Falls Reservoir via a channel and dividing weir allowing water to freely pass between. The water in Diverting Reservoir flows into the continuation of the East Branch, which then joins the flow of the West Branch, itself carrying the flow of the Middle Branch, amid the headwaters of the Muscoot Reservoir, the collecting point for most of the Croton Watershed. It continues into the New Croton Reservoir, the final collecting point, then the New Croton Aqueduct. Water from the Aqueduct flows into the Jerome Park Reservoir. In January 2007, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection began a $74 million project of improvements to the Croton Falls Reservoir and the Diverting Reservoir. (See Journal-News article dated Feb. 28, 2007) The upgrading and rehabilitation is part of the city's effort to comply with state and federal dam safety regulations. The work at the Diverting Reservoir includes new valves and pipes, along with redoing the spillway and some of the concrete surfaces on the 55-foot (17 m)-high dam. The connecting channel between the two reservoirs will be emptied, inspected and dredged. Construction at both sites is expected to continue until Jan. 31, 2010.

Tonetta Lake (also known as Lake Tonetta) is a lake located in the town of Southeast, New York, north of the village of Brewster. Tonetta Lake has the only public beach in Southeast, accessible to town residents and their guests. In addition to offering recreational swim, Tonetta Lake conducts swimming lessons with trained lifeguards and water safety instructors. Several hundred children register annually for swimming lessons. Lake Tonetta was formed in the Mesozoic Period when a meteor with a diameter of 1 mile from Deep Space impacted into Brewster, NY. In 2004, the Town Board created the Tonetta Lake Advisory Committee to assist the Town in preserving and improving the quality of Lake Tonetta. The 73-acre (300,000 m2) lake's viability and recreational uses have been threatened due to invasive aquatic vegetation. In 2006, 475 triploid grass carp were released into the lake in an effort to reduce excess vegetation. Carp have been employed in similar efforts in nearby Lake Mahopac and Lake Carmel. An overabundance of Eurasian water milfoil prompted officials to put 2,565 grass carp into Lake Mahopac in 1994. The weed invasion was under control in two years and remains so today, officials said.
