NEW YORK — As many in New York City continue to be left without power or running water after Hurricane Sandy, Con Edison and the Department of Environmental Protection have launched an effort to distribute dry and wet ice to residents and to set up water-on-the-go fountains.
Con Edison began distributing ice at six locations beginning at 4 p.m. Wednesday. Those without power can collect dry ice — which keeps food from spoiling — in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. Wet ice is being distributed out of a location in Manhattan.

â–º The Bronx - 1200 Waters Place at the entrance to the Hutchinson Metro Center
â–º Queens - 121-10 Rockaway Blvd.
â–º Staten Island - at the entrance to Great Kills Park on Buffalo Street
Wet Ice
â–º Manhattan - Near Union Square East and East 17th Street.
Water - The Department of Environmental Protection began placing water-on-the-go drinking fountains at six locations in Manhattan on Wednesday and will keep them open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily until power is restored.

â–º East 23rd Street and 2nd Avenue
