Update: Philadelphia tap water safe to drink — for now — after Delaware River chemical spill, officials say.
City officials cleared the tap water as safe to drink and cook with through at least 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 27. But this safety update came after Philly residents were advised to use bottled water to drink and cook with earlier on Sunday, after a chemical spill in the Delaware River late Friday.
“Philadelphia Water Department customers in the city are recommended to use bottled drinking water beginning at 2:00 p.m. today until further notice out of an abundance of caution,” the city said Sunday, as reported by the local ABC affiliate. Michael Carrol, the deputy managing director for Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability , confirmed that a chemical spill of a latex product in Bristol Township, Bucks County, late Friday night released contaminants into the Delaware River.
He said that contaminants “have not been found” in the drinking water at this time. But out of an abundance of caution, “we are notifying the public in the customer service area that they may wish not to drink or cook with tap water.”
