As you stock up on groceries and household items, remember that you can save room in your cart by drinking safe and delicious Philly tap water rather than bottled. #DrinkTapPHL

If you love Philly, do the right thing: put used gloves and masks in the trash when you are done using them, not on our sidewalks and streets. Thank you!

Thank you to all Water + @PhiladelphiaGov workers out there on Labor Day weekend helping Philly recover from the damage Ida left behind. Eddie Holsworth and Eric Council from Sewer Maintenance were clearing mud from Main St. in Manayunk this morning.

At this time, no contaminants have been found in our tap water system. Out of an abundance of caution, residents in the impacted areas may want to switch to bottled water. Follow our account and @PhilaOEM for updates.
