With winter weather approaching, New Jersey American Water is reminding customers that the widespread use of road salt to melt snow and ice can impact local water sources. While the company continues to provide drinking water that is safe and meets all health-based primary drinking water standards, some customers may notice temporary changes in taste due to increased salt runoff entering rivers and streams. Each winter, road crews, businesses, and homeowners apply salt to improve traction on roads, driveways, and sidewalks. As snow and ice melt, this salt can wash into nearby waterways, some of which serve as drinking water sources. Higher concentrations of sodium and chloride in the water can result in a slightly salty taste, though these levels do not pose a health risk for most people. Those on sodium-restricted diets should consult their physicians with any concerns. Taking Action to Protect Water Sources New Jersey American Water... Read more →
