Philadelphia Declares Tap Water Safe for Now, Retracting Earlier Warning, After Chemical Plant Spill
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philadelphia officials said Sunday tap water remains safe to drink until
the end of today, following earlier warnings not to drink from the tap
after a chemical processing plant released as much as 12,000 gallons of
acrylic latex polymer into a tributary of the Delaware River.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said late Sunday that no contaminants had
yet been found in the city's tap water system as authorities continue to
conduct tests.
