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.
Water main break prompts boil notice for Greenville
GREENVILLE – A water main break and an “overburdened’’ treatment plant were blamed for Greenville Water Authority issuing a boil water notice that will remain in effect until at least Tuesday.
“We always err on the side of caution,’’ said Carol Paul, the utility’s manager, in a Sunday evening phone interview.
As a result, a painstaking hunt for the ruptured pipe was conducted by utility employees using listening devices on fire hydrants, Paul said.
Evidently, it was near the river, and the water was going into the river,’’ she said of the ruptured pipe.
As a result, she said it overburdened the treatment plant.
Water testing is now ongoing at the plant, and the authority is required to show DEP the water is problem-free for two consecutive days.
“It takes 24 hours to get the results of each test, so the earliest we can pull the boil notice is Tuesday,’’ Paul said.
“We got a large bottled water supply in, and we’ll be getting another shipment tomorrow,’’ Lombardo said on Sunday.
“We also got prepackaged ice for consuming.’’ State health officials said the water was safe for washing hands, she said.
“We’re boiling everything,’’ said Christy Brooks, co-owner of the restaurant.

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.
For more information, call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 for general guidelines on ways to reduce risks of infection.
