November 1, 2024 -- Due to drier than normal weather conditions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Aqua is encouraging customers to voluntarily conserve water. This request is being made following the Aqua team’s analysis of surface and groundwater conditions. Cutting back on water use during this period of extended dry weather is easier than many people may think. Here are some helpful tips on reducing water use: Don’t leave the water running when brushing your teeth or shaving. Take showers, not baths: Showers are more efficient and use less water. The shorter the shower, the better. A 10-minute shower uses half the amount of water as a full bathtub. Cut back on rinsing dishes. Scrape off the food and let the dishwasher do the rest. Only run the dishwasher when it is full. Limit your outdoor watering and check automatic sprinkler heads.Consider if areas of your yard can go without watering as we enter the colder season. To be clear, Aqua monitors and manages our water supplies actively every day and we are confident in being able to supply our systems, but we are recommending voluntary conservation as a precaution. While we cannot predict how long the dry weather will continue, our operations, environmental and compliance experts plan for this type of weather event with our customers in mind. Aqua’s drought team will continue to monitor the situation to ensure continued service and reliability. To this end, we ask our customers to use water wisely in this abnormal period that is affecting the entire two states. As always, if our customers have any specific concerns or questions, please reach out to us at 877.987.2782. We will keep you updated of any significant changes.

November 22, 2024 -- First and foremost, the water is safe to drink. The noticeable taste and smell, often reported as a stronger smell of chlorine, was traced to our Neshaminy Plant, which supplies water to portions of Montgomery & Bucks Counties. We believe the drought conditions have led to changes with our source water that is impacting the taste and smell of the drinking water. Again, our laboratory tests confirm the water is safe to drink. We expect the issue will resolve over the next several days as we receive long-awaited rain in addition to adjustments made to our treatment process.
