James Bruni is the 🐐 of Catch Basin Operators! That's why it only seemed fitting to name the first in the new fleet of catch basin cleaning trucks in his honor. "Bruni" retired 7 years ago, but for 28 years he was unmatched in cleaning catch basins and keeping NYC flowing!

In 1908, our laborers began drilling holes for explosives to create the Catskill Aqueduct, which today delivers 40% of NYC’s world-famous water from the Catskill Mountains. By 1915, water from the Ashokan Reservoir began flowing with gravity alone along the 92-mile aqueduct. #tbt
