Full Notification

New Jersey American Water released a statement and wants to reassure its customers that treated water from its Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant is not impacted by the chemical spill that occurred early Saturday morning from a manufacturing plant into a tributary of the river in Bristol, Pa.

New Jersey American Water is monitoring the source water and performing water quality tests at various points in the treatment process and throughout the distribution system. At this time the company has determined that the spill has not impacted the treated drinking water being delivered to customers in the three counties served by the Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant.

American Water is also issuing a voluntary water conservation notice for customers in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties.  Customers in these counties are asked to limit non-essential water use until further notice. The company is issuing this order to help ensure the optimal operation of its Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant.

Customers are being notified of this voluntary conservation notice through the company’s customer notification system. The company will issue a follow up communication when this notice is lifted. Updates will also be posted as they become available on their website at www.newjerseyamwater.com, under Alerts, and on their social media channels, @njamwater.

Cinnaminson Township Office of Emergency Management and Township Administration will continue to monitor and update residents as information becomes available.
