Apparently there are several huge (20+ feet?)underground tunnels dug right into the bedrock (granite?) that provide water from (I believe) upstate. Every so often they shut one down and do some maintenance on them.

Doug;

That was a great show! There are two tunnels in use and a third one was begun in 1970 and is still under construction. The tunnels run as deep as 800 feet under ground. It is scary just to think about!
