City’s response to spill of a latex product into the Delaware River | Office of Emergency Management PWD continues to monitor a latex spill on the Delaware River that could impact Philadelphia drinking water.

The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) continues to evaluate the situation to understand potential impacts to the public following the chemical spill in Bristol Township, Bucks County, on Friday. No contaminants have been found in the system at this time. PWD is still monitoring the situation and conducting testing and is confident that tap water from the Baxter Drinking Water Treatment Plant will remain safe to drink and use at least through 3:30 p.m. tomorrow, March 28, 2023.

Updated information for community members about the chemical spill in the Delaware River is available here: http://bit.ly/3lH5ovN.

Based on updated hydraulic modeling and the latest sampling results and data, the Philadelphia Water Department is now confident tap water from the Baxter Drinking Water Treatment Plant will remain safe to drink and use at least through 11:59 p.m. Monday, March 27, 2023.

There is no need to buy water at this time. Customers can fill bottles or pitchers with tap water with no risk at this time. We will provide a media update at approximately 5 p.m. today, Sunday March 26, 2023
This updated time is based on the time it will take river water that entered the Baxter intakes early Sunday morning to move through treatment and water mains before reaching customers.

The water that is currently available to customers was treated before the spill reached Philadelphia and remains safe to drink and use for bathing, cooking, and washing.
The earlier advisory that customers receiving water from the Baxter Drinking Water Treatment Plant may choose to drink bottled water on March 26 was issued out of an abundance of caution. Testing has not shown the presence of water impacted by the spill in the Baxter system at this time.

We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available through sampling and monitoring of river conditions.
The Philadelphia Water Department's Tidal Spill Model Tool is being used to track contaminant plume movement and inform when the chemical spill will no longer impact the Philadelphia drinking water intakes.

Customers can use this map to view of areas that could potentially be impacted by the spill:
