New Jersey American Water’s Routine Maintenance to End at its Swimming River and Jumping Brook Water Treatment Plants
CAMDEN, N.J. – APRIL 10, 2025 – On the week of April 21, New Jersey American Water will complete its scheduled routine maintenance and resume using chloramines in water treatment at its Swimming River Water Treatment Plant in Colts Neck and its Jumping Brook Water Treatment Plant in Neptune.

During the routine maintenance, some customers may have noticed a slight chlorine taste and smell in their water.
