City officials say Philadelphia residents’ drinking water is safe and will not be impacted by the chemical spill that occurred Friday on a tributary of the Delaware River.
“It’s safe, it’s contaminant free, and we can all enjoy it to drink, to cook with, wash with — whatever you want,” said Mike Carroll, deputy managing director of the City’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability during a livestreamed briefing Tuesday.

..."Kenney defended that messaging Tuesday, saying he didn't regret the way the city handled the issue.

"We provide the information that people need and we want to make sure we provide as much information as possible because we believe more information is always better," Carroll said.
At the same time, they say they will see what they can do better.
"We're going to take a look at how things worked, we'll get involved in a lot of after action work to make sure we can refine our approach," Carrol added."
