Earlier this week we reported a mechanical malfunction causing the shutdown of the Warren Avenue Treatment Plant. As a result, the Bellmawr Water Department has been supplying customers exclusively from the Leaf & Bell Water Treatment Plant while the cause was identified and corrective action can commence. Accordingly, residents on the west side of Bellmawr may experience lower than normal water pressure.
We are working diligently to rectify the problem at the Warren Avenue Treatment Plant, which will not be restarted until such time as it is able to function properly and safely. The Borough has remained in close contact with NJDEP Officials, who have been informed of our activities. We again want to reiterate that at all times, including the present, the potable water supply has been tested and found to be safe and in full compliance with all NJDEP drinking water standards.
The Warren Avenue Treatment Plant will be placed back into service when the necessary repairs are completed. We appreciate your continued patience while we continue to work tirelessly to correct the issues and restore normal pressure throughout our system.
