Trenton Water Works Violation Letter - Lawrence residents who receive drinking water from Trenton Water Works will soon receive a required mailing regarding excess levels of HAA5 and TTHM (disinfectant byproducts that form when naturally occurring organic matter combines with disinfectants, such as chlorine, which is added to kill microorganisms). This is NOT an emergency situation and there is NOTHING FOR RESIDENTS TO DO (meaning that residents do NOT need to boil water and do NOT need to take corrective actions).  Rather, the mailing is required because the public has a right to know about the violations.  For both contaminants, quarterly samples are averaged over a12-month period; and when the average of samples exceed the standard or maximum containment levels, violation notices are required to be sent to all system customers. The attached notice from Trenton Water Works (which customers will receive in the mail) provides further information. Should residents have any further questions, they should contact Trenton Water Works at 609.989.3055.



Trenton Water Works Forum - Trenton Water Works officials, along with the Mayor of Trenton, will be hosting a community forum on October 18, 2018, from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Lawrence Senior Center.  It will be an opportunity for TWW to explain the steps it is taking to improve the quality of water it is delivering to its customers and to answer questions.
