The Trenton Water Works boil water advisory has been lifted for all of Ewing and Hamilton but remains in effect for parts of downtown Trenton.
The advisory now applies only to customers in Trenton from the Delaware River to Prospect Street and Bellevue Avenue to Pennington Avenue to Perry Street to S. Clinton Avenue to Liberty Street to Duck Island.
Operations ceased because of elevated turbidities and inadequate disinfection of delivered water.
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of the water.
“Some Trenton Water Works customers have experienced issues.
We will provide more information as it becomes available.” All water in the affected areas—including for bathing, showering, drinking and cooking—should be boiled before use.
Trenton Water Works customers asked to conserve water A water conservation advisory is in effect for all Trenton Water Works customers.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is requiring the system wide water conservation to help conserve available water supplies, according to DEP spokesman Rob Geist.
Residents should limit all water use by restricting use of dishwashers and washing machines, limiting showers and their duration and limiting flushing toilets.
The advisory will remain in effect until costumers are notified by officials in their municipality.
