Boonton Reservoir

The Boonton Reservoir is a 700-acre reservoir located between Boonton and Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey. Boonton, along with nearby Splitrock Reservoir, provides water for Jersey City, New Jersey. It was formed by the construction of a dam on the Rockaway River completed in 1904 on the site of the original town of Boonton. On September 26, 1908, the reservoir’s waters were the first municipal water supply in the United States to be continuously chlorinated. The chlorination system was devised by John L. Leal and the facility was designed by George W. Fuller.In June 2014, Jersey City installed a new $5.8 million gravity pipeline that brings water from the reservoir to the on site treatment facility. The new pipeline is more energy efficient and is expected to save the City $375,000 annually in electricity costs. It replaced the former pipeline which pumped water uphill to the treatment facility and was more energy intensive.On September 28, 2018, officials from Jersey City and the Morris County Park Commission announced a plan to create a nature preserve and 7.7-mile (12.4 km) educational-hiking trail around the reservoir that will allow for passive recreation while protecting the water supply with additional security measures. Phase 1 of the trail is expected to be completed by 2021.In March 2019, a body was found floating in the reservoir, eventually identified as Boonton resident Sean Stohl who had been reported missing since November 2018. On August 23, 2020 the body of a 35-year female who was recovered by dive teams and a state police chopper.

Parsippany–Troy Hills is the most populous municipality in Morris County. The name Troy Hills was changed from Troy, to avoid confusion of mail being sent erroneously to Troy, New York.Parsippany–Troy Hills was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 12, 1928, from portions of Hanover Township, based on the results of a referendum held on May 9, 1928, that split off both East Hanover Township and Parsippany–Troy Hills from Hanover Township.Since 2006, Parsippany–Troy Hills has been consistently recognized by Money magazine as one of the Best Places to Live in the United States.
