Canal Road Water Treatment Plant
demonstrates outstanding commitment to delivering superior quality
drinking water to customers
New Jersey American Water’s Canal Road Water Treatment Plant in
Raritan received a 15-Year Directors Award from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Partnership for Safe Water.
The award celebrates utilities for their outstanding commitment to
delivering superior quality drinking water to customers.
Representatives from New Jersey American Water accepted the award
at the 2017 American Water Works Annual Conference held in
Philadelphia.
“We are extremely proud of our water quality record and we’re
grateful for this honor. When customers open their taps, we want
them to have confidence in the quality of their water,” said Bill
Wachter, production manager for the Canal Road and
Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plants. “This award recognizes
the hard work and expertise of our employees who demonstrate their
commitment to our customers each day.”
The company’s Canal Road plant treats water drawn from the
Raritan River and delivers as much as 80 million gallons of
high-quality, reliable water daily to customers in Somerset,
Middlesex, Mercer, Union, Hunterdon, and Morris Counties. Together,
with New Jersey American Water’s nearby Raritan-Millstone Water
Treatment Plant in Bridgewater, the two sites provide about 1.5
million customers with safe reliable water every day. The
Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plant received this prestigious
award in 2015.
“We are proud to be among the 18 nationally-recognized
Partnership for Safe Water awardees within the American Water
family of facilities. The 15-year Directors Award means a lot to
all of us at the Canal Road Water Treatment Plant as we strive to
bring high quality water to our customers,” said Oleg Kostin,
operations and production manager for the Canal Road and
Raritan-Millstone Water Treatment Plants. “It is an honor and a
testament to the great effort our employees put into their jobs,
each and every day.”
New Jersey American Water’s treatment facilities are among 400
surface water treatment plants across the nation that are part of
the EPA Partnership for Safe Water Program, a voluntary effort that
is designed to increase protection against microbial contamination
through treatment optimization.
“The Partnership for Safe Water congratulates New Jersey
American Water’s Canal Road Water Treatment Plant for receiving the
15-Year Directors Award. This award illustrates the utility’s
enduring commitment to optimization and public health protection,”
said Barbara Martin, director of engineering and technical services
at American Water Works Association (AWWA).
The Partnership for Safe Water is a voluntary self-assessment
and optimization program for water treatment plant and distribution
system operation. More than 300 utility subscribers, collectively
serving more than 100 million people, are committed to the
Partnership’s goals of providing safe, high-quality drinking water
through achieving operational excellence in water treatment.
Partnership members participate in a rigorous four-phase
self-assessment and peer review process, developed by water utility
optimization experts, and are recognized for their commitment to
delivering safe water to their communities.
