Tap offering GenX-free groundwater to continue

Meter readings show the tap is providing roughly 218 gallons per day — slightly less than one household consumes in a day to residents seeking GenX-free water.
Readings taken last week showed a total of 13,504 gallons were withdrawn since July 18.
But that usage includes water to wash dishes, do laundry and irrigate.
It is unclear how the water taken from the station is being used.
Ogden and areas south of Monkey Junction are the only parts of the county that receive CFPUA groundwater rather than treated river water from the Sweeney plant.
Three downtown Wilmington churches are also offering residents who can’t get to Ogden Park access to the free public water tap. The churches transport empty containers to the county park where they will be filled with the treated groundwater. It is unclear how many residents are using the service.
