Aqua Pennsylvania continues to monitor the situation in Abington Township following the fire at SPS Technologies in Jenkintown. We are aware that some customers may have noticed their water appears slightly cloudy. Please know, the water is safe to drink. The pipes in the streets that deliver drinking water to our customers’ homes are the same pipes that service the fire hydrants used to battle the warehouse fire. The prolonged, intense movement of water used to fight the fire may stir up sediment in the pipes which can lead to cloudiness in the drinking water. This should clear up in a matter of days. We thank our customers for their patience and understanding.
