Trenton Water Works Resumes Supplying Water to Aqua New Jersey

Trenton Water Works (TWW) announced today that it will resume supplying millions of gallons of finished drinking water daily to Aqua New Jersey, another regulated public utility that provides drinking water and wastewater services to hundreds of thousands of residents across numerous New Jersey municipalities in multiple counties.

“The TWW system is well-engineered with six interconnections with other water systems and is more than capable of helping Aqua New Jersey meet their customers’ water demands,” said Sean Semple, Director of the city’s Department of Water and Sewer, which operates Trenton Water Works. “We regularly supply water to Aqua.”

TWW’s raw water source is the Delaware River, and its water filtration plant on Route 29 South in Trenton produces approximately 33 million gallons of drinking water daily for a five-municipality service area, including Trenton, Hamilton Township, Ewing Township, Lawrence Township, and Hopewell Township. The plant can supply 60 million gallons of drinking water daily.

“The water filtration plant is operating normally, and our licensed operators continue to monitor Pennington Avenue Reservoir levels, system demand, performance, and we are grateful for Mother Nature’s cooperation,” added Semple.
