New Jersey American Water is testing samples, changing its treatment process and flushing its system - 10 days after a chemical spill into the Raritan River affected drinking water for dozens of towns.

The spill caused water in dozens of towns to smell and taste different.

The spill came from a facility in Branchburg, M&U International, which re-packages fragrances, essential oils, and flavorings.
