NJ American Water customers may notice salty taste in their #water due to road salt, brine
Due to the use of #salt and brine for public safety during the recent extreme winter weather, as well as ongoing #drought conditions, #NewJersey residents may have noticed a salty taste in their tap #water. Despite the slight change in taste, New Jersey American Water wants to assure its customers that the water it provides continues to meet all health-based primary drinking water standards.
@DeniseGutzmer Road salt makes it into their water supply?!?! Eww...
@ai6yr
Agreed. That is... unusual.
@DeniseGutzmer Jersians, just drink a little salt water. What could go wrong?
