Philadelphia Implements Precautions After Chemical Spill in Delaware River

Philadelphia officials are monitoring the city's drinking water system after a chemical spill in the Delaware River, but have not detected any of the three chemicals that leaked into the river. The city has advised residents that tap water is safe to drink until at least the end of Monday, but recommended the use of bottled water on Sunday. The spill occurred on Friday when a latex product spilled into a Delaware River tributary in Bristol Township, Bucks County. The responsible party will be held accountable, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
