Yes sir, I do believe that is the case. It also shows that on my map above. What part of the Delaware Aqueduct do you suspect is not in NY?

Here are some facts that seem to be corroborated in multiple sources I found:

"The Delaware Aqueduct takes water from the Rondout Reservoir through the Chelsea Pump Station, the West Branch Reservoir, and the Kensico Reservoir, ending at the Hillview Reservoir in Yonkers, New York."

And a bit more on the location of the Rondout Reservoir:

"Rondout Reservoir is part of New York City's water supply network. It is located 75 miles (120 km) northwest of the city in the Catskill Mountains, near the southern end of Catskill Park, split between the towns of Wawarsing in Ulster County and Neversink in Sullivan County. It is the central collection point for the city's Delaware System, which provides half its daily consumption."
