Temporary Water Treatment Change to End in Central and Northern Parts of the State Served by New Jersey American Water
April 11 2018 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
On April 17, New Jersey American Water will resume using
chloramines in water treatment at its Raritan-Millstone and Canal
Road Water Treatment plants. These plants serve New Jersey American
Water customers in the following counties: Hunterdon, Mercer,
Middlesex, Somerset and Union.
In mid-February, as part of an annual maintenance program for
its water distribution system, New Jersey American Water
temporarily changed the water treatment process from a chloramine
(combined) residual to free chlorine residual. Chloramines have
long been an effective method of water disinfection that meet all
EPA and NJDEP drinking water standards, and have been used by New
Jersey American Water since the 1980s.
The treatment change applies to New Jersey American Water
customers in the following communities: (Communities with an
asterisk purchase water from New Jersey American Water.)

The two-month changeover to free chlorine residual enabled the
company to perform routine maintenance. During the transition to
free chlorine residual, some customers may have noticed a slight
chlorine taste and odor in their water. With the resumption of the
chloramine process, the taste and smell of chlorine will
subside.
