NYC keeps really detailed information on this subject as well as a much more comprehensive chart. I don't have a link but google it, then spends millions on this each year.

Also this can vary greatly from house to house on the same block. Anyone in an apartment building for example will see more pipe than someone in a house especially if it's a REALLY old building. Someone in a house built in 1880 will have different pipes than new construction. Also block to block there will be great variations. Parts of Queens don't get the same water that the rest of us do (why they joined nyc so late for the most part. Back then access to NYC water was the bargaining chip for small towns to join nyc.) Access to the Brooklyn/Queens aquafores kept most of the small towns on the border out. I believe this is now referred to as "Jamaica Water." It sucks and is periodically "shocked" with high amounts of chlorine. You'll also find ammonia in it from time to time.
