District 15th Legislators release a joint statement about Water Works Trenton
(Trenton) -Stari Shilly K Turner, the Werina Reynolds-Jackson Assembly and the Assembly Anthony S. Verrelli of 15th The legislative district released the following statement in response to fears about a recent report by the Ministry of Environment in New Jersey (NJDEP) on the continuation of water affairs in Trenton (TWW).
“The recent NJDEP report outlines how Tww is obliged to provide clean, safe drinking water for its customers, consistently not fulfilling technical, management and financial (TMF) criteria. Water Works Trenton serves over 200,000 people – in Trenton and parts of Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence and Hopwal. It is clear that this is not just a problem with Trenton – it is a regional crisis that requires a regional solution.
“For years, TWW has been struggling with non -compliance, violations and administrative orders from NJDEP, which led to its failure to meet the requirements of the Safe Water Act. In order to deal with health and safety concerns, NJDEP supervised TWW in 2022. However, a recent third -party evaluation confirms that Tww remains in critical condition, referring to it as a “extremely high risk” for systemic damage.
“The fight of the TWW with the long -term system resistance, including the quality of water treatment, operational efficiency and the maintenance of the equipment cannot continue. We all have to gather as a region – legislators, mayors and communities – to deal with this systematic issue and to come up with a way forward. We need to find a way to modernize and repair the facilities while guaranteeing professional management, management and operations at all levels.
“We are encouraged by the clear commitment to cooperation between local mayors and civil servants, and we will work tirelessly to ensure that this effort moves forward without delay. Together we will restore public confidence in TWW and provide a sustainable future for our water system. “
