TRENTON, NEW JERSEY
Elevated chlorine levels inside a room of the Trenton Water
Treatment plant prompted a response from a hazardous response team Friday
morning.
Firefighters arrived at the Route 29 facility around 6:15
a.m. after sensors inside the treatment plant detected a chlorine leak, Chief
Robert Tharp said.
The HAZMAT team checked the area for a leak, but could not
find one, Tharp said.
The plant was shut down for a short time and employees
were evacuated while water from the reservoir was used as crews
investigated, Tharp said.
Operation of the plant was returned to employees around 7:30
a.m., according to Michael Walker, spokesman for the Mayor's Office.
The plant was operating normally by mid-morning and
supply is unaffected, Walker said.
