Residents across dozens of New Jersey towns have reported foul-smelling and tasting water, prompting an urgent notification from New Jersey American Water as they investigate the Raritan System.
The company has conducted preliminary sampling and reported the water meets primary standards; however, residents described a metallic taste and a smell resembling paint thinner.
Social media speculation linked the water issues with recently sighted drones over the Raritan River, while some residents blamed a broken water main in Union City.
Amid frustration over safety concerns, American Water advised residents not to drink tap water and suggested alternatives, indicating they are flushing hydrants to address the problem.
