Highland Tank 50,000 Gallon Oil/Water Separator Installed At Con Ed Mott Haven Power Distribution Center

Before the Brooklyn Bridge spanned the East River, before the Statue of Liberty first graced New York Harbor, and before skyscrapers rose above New York City's streets, the utility companies that would eventually become Con Edison were already building the energy infrastructure needed to fuel and sustain the city's growth.

Today, Con Edison operates one of the largest and most complex — yet most reliable — electric power systems in the world. Con Edison delivers electricity to more than three million customers through the world's largest system of underground electric cables — some 91,000 miles — complemented by nearly 36,000 miles of overhead electric wires.
