In the wake of a state report on the beleaguered Trenton Water Works, several mayors from Mercer County are advocating for significant changes.

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has called for a complete transformation of the utility, suggesting the creation of a new public entity to manage operations.

This recommendation comes after serious allegations surfaced from a now-former employee regarding the falsification of water testing reports.

Trenton Water Works provides services to over 200,000 people, covering all of Trenton and parts of neighboring towns such as Ewing, Hamilton, Hopewell, and Lawrence.
