TRENTON, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Trenton's water filtration plant won't reopen until at least tomorrow morning.
That's because of mud and debris in the rain-swollen Delaware River, which crested five feet above flood stage tonight.
The river problems had forced the plant to shut down yesterday, and Mayor Doug Palmer says the capital city is down to a 24-hour supply of drinking water.
But another water supplier, New Jersey American Water, opened an emergency interconnection with the city today. It's capable of providing three (m) million gallons of water a day.
And two other utilities are supplying another (m) million gallons daily, the maximum amount the city water system is capable of importing.
The drinking water situation, along with flooding of roads in and around the capital city, prompted Governor Corzine to tell most government workers to remain home again tomorrow Previous Story: Delaware River Crests, Problems Reported
