New Jersey American Water’s teams are continuing to flush targeted areas of the Raritan system and perform additional sampling throughout the communities that are reporting a changed odor in the water.

 

Additional laboratory testing of the samples confirmed that water meets state and federal drinking water standards. We are working with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to determine if any other course of action or precautionary measures are necessary. We will continue to perform targeted flushing and sampling throughout the system tonight. We will provide another update on the Alerts page of our website as soon as more information is available.
