Taste and Odor Changes in parts of Middlesex, Somerset, Union, Hunterdon, and Mercer Counties

New Jersey American Water is responding to customer concerns about taste and odor changes in parts of Middlesex, Somerset, Union, Hunterdon and Mercer counties. These changes can be attributed to the heavy rainfall we recently received after an extended dry period. 

We are conducting flushing in targeted areas of the system to help alleviate the issue. Sampling confirms that water continues to meet safe drinking water standards. We thank our customers for their patience as we work to resolve this issue.
