American Water, City of Camden unveil upgraded water treatment plant
(UI) – American Water, the nation’s largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, in partnership with the City of Camden, unveiled the new Parkside Water Treatment Plant in Camden, N.J. This system improvement project will continue to provide safe, clean and reliable water service to the Camden community.
Camden’s proactive water system upgrades began in 2020 and were divided into two phases: phase one focused on treating the Parkside well supply, and phase two focused on the Morris-Delair well supply.
Phase one highlights included effectively removing PFAS and other compounds from groundwater since January 2022.
“American Water is proud to partner with the City of Camden to help continue to provide drinking water that meets all state and federal requirements for safety and quality. Investments in Parkside and Morris-Delair will help ensure that for current and future residents and businesses in Camden,” said Steve Curtis, President, American Water Contract Services Group.
The Parkside and Morris-Delair Water Treatment Plants provide vital capacity to treat and deliver approximately 6-8 million gallons of water per day to more than 46,000 residents in the Camden community.
“The prioritization of water quality and water safety is critical to healthier more equitable communities,” said Bridget Phifer, CEO of Parkside Business & Community In Partnership. “Thanks to American Water’s inclusive process, the Parkside community was engaged throughout the progression of the project and learned about the function of the new water treatment plant and its importance.”
