Trenton Water Works issues boil notice for parts of Hamilton, Ewing, Trenton
This article has been updated to include statements from the DEP and Hopewell Township.
A boil water advisory has been issued for parts of Trenton Water Works’ service area, but confusion abounds to which parts exactly.
An advisory issued by the state Department of Environmental Protections says people in downtown Trenton and small portions of Ewing and Hamilton–areas served directly by the TWW treatment plant–should boil their water.
This area—as the DEP stated—includes portions of Ewing Township, the City of Trenton and Hamilton Township.
The Hopewell statement emphasized there is no known impact to Hopewell Township’s portion of the Trenton Water Works system.
But there has been confusion regarding the boil water advisory and where in the Trenton Water Works system it.
When contacted at 2 p.m. Jan. 15, a Trenton Water Works employee could not say which parts of TWW service area were affected by the notice.
Nearly two hours later, Trenton Water Works had not reached back to clarify.
Ewing Township, on its website, says the boil water advisory does not include its residents, contradicting the DEP release.
Trenton Water Works serves parts of Ewing, Hamilton, Lawrence and Hopewell, as well as the City of Trenton.
Boil alert advisory lifted for entire city of Jackson
Freezing temperatures have caused some water line breaks in Jackson, and city crews are at work trying to stem a repeat of what happened in March 2017 when a water main broke.
Wochit A precautionary boil water advisory was lifted Saturday for areas of the city of Jackson water system that had remained under an alert.
According to a news release from the office of Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, the city had 151 confirmed water main breaks on distribution lines since subfreezing temperatures hit Jan. 1.
To date, 108 breaks have been repaired with 10 additional repairs underway.
Another 33 breaks are pending assignment, and three leaks reported by residents through 311 calls have yet to be confirmed as breaks.

Given a forecast that has nighttime lows reaching into the teens by Tuesday morning, the city is continuing to closely monitor its water treatment plants and field crews as needed, the release said.
In the meantime, water system management and engineering personnel are continuing to check pressure at fire hydrants in the areas still experiencing lower-than-normal pressures in an attempt to identify possible closed valves.
According to the release, there are still six elevated storage tanks that have not yet been refilled.
City personnel are working to increase pressure and flow to those tanks.
Sussex Borough water advisory remains in effect
Residents received the advisory by way of an automated phone system and notices posted throughout the borough and on the borough website.
The problem, which has cropped up before, appears to have been precipitated by Friday’s rainstorm and freakishly warm temperatures for early January that rose into the low 60s.
The large amount of rainfall, coupled with the rapid snow melt, is believed to have stirred up organic matter and sediments at the bottom of the settling pond that connects to the borough’s water treatment plant.
Currently, water from Lake Rutherford, which supplies the treatment plant, flows naturally through the settling pond on its way to the plant.
"We do our own laboratory tests and currently the water that’s flowing out of (the settling pond) is well within the accepted parameters, but the DEP decides how long they want you to test, and usually it’s two rounds over a day or two," Holowach said.
With Monday being a holiday, "I would think we’re probably looking at Thursday or Friday before the advisory gets lifted."
Residents, he said, will be notified accordingly in the same manner as they were when the advisory was first issued.
Until then, residents are advised to bring all drinking water to a boil, let it continue to boil for one minute, and then let it cool before using it — or else use bottled water.
Boiling the water in this manner kills bacteria and other organisms that may be in the water.
In an effort to address the turbidity problem, the borough applied for and was approved last year for a $400,000 state grant that it intends to use toward the construction of a new pipeline directly from Lake Rutherford to the water treatment plant, thus bypassing the settling pond entirely.

Severe flooding to cost Corner Brook ‘millions’ in damage
Sunday, January 14, 2018, 10:53 AM – Heavy rain has inundated Corner Brook, N.L., with flood damage estimated to be in the millions, according to mayor Jim Parsons.
A state of emergency was declared on behalf of Parsons on Saturday as rapid snow melt and heavy downpours washed out roads and overwhelmed the municipal drainage system.
"The depot is a question mark right now, which could potentially affect ongoing operations," Parsons told The Weather Network Sunday morning.
Our snow clearing operation is a substantial one, and if the depot is compromised then that is going to throw a monkey wrench in there of course."
"Water is receding, so we’ve been able to open up the main bridge that connects both halves of the city," the mayor said.
"We have significant road damage.
"The general public is strongly advised to stay off the banks and stay away from all running water areas, streams and creeks as safety concerns remain in effect," a media advisory reads.
The only advisory that remains in effect is for freezing drizzle in parts of northern Newfoundland, including Bonavista North, Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor.
"Freezing drizzle may at times mix with flurries."

Boil advisory issued for Calamus
CALAMUS — A boil advisory has been issued for the town of Calamus in Clinton County after a water main break that occurred today.
The water main break drained the water tower and has caused a loss in pressure, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources states in a press release issued shortly after 1 p.m. today.
A loss of pressure can allow bacteria to enter the water distribution system.
The approximately 400 residents in the Eastern Iowa town are encouraged to bring all water used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth or preparing food to a boil, let it boil for one minute and let it cool before using or to use bottled water.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Tap water can be used for bathing and similar purposes.
The town will collect and test four sets of water samples, taken 24 hours apart, to determine when the water is safe and the advisory can be lifted.
