UPDATE – Sunday May 26, 2024: Last night, the water department successfully secured and installed a new motor at Bordentown’s water plant. It will take some time for the system to get back to operating at capacity, which we anticipate will be later today. While the refilling of water tanks progresses today, some residents may experience cloudy water. This is typical and it is recommended that you let your water run for 30 to 45 seconds until it clears.

At least for today, it is recommended that residents continue to try and conserve water while the tanks refill. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s patience and support.

ALERT – Saturday, May 25, 2024: Early Saturday morning, a pipe burst at the City’s water plant, causing some damage to the pumps that push water out of the plant and into the distribution system throughout the city. In the interim, the water in the system’s two water tanks (Carslake and Crosswicks) have provided clean and safe water during this time.

An emergency contractor was notified and has been on site fixing the pumps. As these repairs are being made, we ask everyone to be patient and please try to conserve your water usage today. Thank you for your cooperation.
