Water in Philadelphia will remain safe to drink through Monday evening after hazardous materials spilled into a Delaware River tributary, the Philadelphia Water Department said. From WHYYNews:

More than two years after a flood devastated low-lying Eastwick, a community organization is distributing funding for lingering repairs.The milky white substance is water soluble. Carroll said flyovers conducted over the weekend by Philadelphia Police and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection found evidence of a visible spill along the Delaware. He said the heavy rains have helped clear up those plumes.

“Our best information is that people who ingest water will not suffer any near-term symptoms or any acute medical conditions,” Carroll said Sunday morning. “We foresee no need to seek medical attention related to this event. There is no concern over skin exposure or fire hazard. Likewise, we have no concern over inhaling any fumes at the levels we’re evaluating.”

The Philadelphia Water Department plans to reopen the intake again Monday morning in order to maintain minimum water levels. Carroll said it will take “between 24 and 48 hours to work through the system before there’s a chance for it to be at anyone’s tap.”
