CAMDEN, N.J., March 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the U.S, in partnership with the City of Camden, highlights its continued commitment to improving the City's water infrastructure through partnership and investment.
"The Parkside and Morris-Delair Water Treatment Plants provide a critical service and benefit to the residents in Camden," said Victor Carstarphen, City of Camden Mayor. "Proactively upgrading our infrastructure allows us to continue the delivery of safe, reliable water service to our customers. These projects represent comprehensive investments and the commitment to enhancing resiliency and keeping safety top of mind for our community."
Camden’s capital water infrastructure project began in 2020 to address per– and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and 1,4-dioxane. The two-phase approach focused on treating both the Parkside well supply and Morris-Delair well supply.
The Parkside and Morris-Delair Water Treatment Plants provide vital capacity to treat and deliver approximately 6-8 million gallons of water per day to more than 46,000 residents in the Camden community.
"American Water is proud to partner with the City of Camden to help continue to provide drinking water that meets all state and federal requirements for safety and quality. Investments in Parkside and Morris-Delair will help ensure that for current and future residents and businesses in Camden," said Sean Wheatley, President, American Water Contract Services Group. "Additionally, our team would like to thank New Jersey American Water for their continued partnership and helping to supplement the Camden water supply during facility upgrades."
