Our water filtration plant on Route 29 South in Trenton operated all night, producing more than 30 million gallons of water for our valued customers and service-area residents.

We have deactivated the interconnection with New Jersey American Water because we no longer need the five-million-gallons-a-day water supply. Pennington Avenue Reservoir storage levels have stabilized to a three-day finished water supply.

Five diesel-powered high-capacity pumps at the plant continue to draw water from the Delaware River, bypassing the primary intake screens and pumping raw water directly into the intake for screen-filtering by a secondary system.

System pressure is high and checked every four hours. We test your tap water hourly.

The Limit-Water-Use Advisory, issued on Wednesday, January 8, remains in force. Please only use tap water for essential purposes: drinking, cooking, sanitary (toilet flushing), and full dishwasher and washing machine loads.
