The City of Philadelphia is monitoring its drinking water system carefully following a chemical spill upstream in the Delaware River, and said the water would be safe to drink until at least the end of the day Monday.
Three different chemicals leaked into the river when a latex product spilled on Friday, but none have so far been detected in Philadelphia’s water system, city officials say. The city earlier sent out mobile phone push alerts recommending area residents use of bottled water from 2 p.m.
The Philadelphia Police Department and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection had conducted a flyover across the Delaware River and saw no visual evidence of contamination plumes, Carroll told reporters Sunday. “In this case, because we were talking about essentially ingredients that go into latex paint, we would have been able to see a kind of white plume under the river surface,” he said.
