Philly tap water ‘will not be impacted’ by chemical spill, city says

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.
