Officials are asking residents in the three South Jersey counties to limit their water use until further notice.

American Water says customers in Burlington, Camden and Gloucester counties are not impacted by Friday's chemical spill in the Delaware River.

However, the company says while water in those counties is safe to drink, it's trying to maintain operations for the region and make sure there is enough clean water to go around.

NJ SEED: Water issues dominate this week’s news demonstrating how vital it is to protect the region’s drinking water. It seems to be a never ending battle, but it’s one that must continue to be fought.
