About Our Water
All Trenton water system water comes from underground aquifers, pumped to the plant and treated here. The plant has the capacity to treat 1.4M gallons/day for drinking water.
The quality of the water is excellent and we test it regularly to make sure it stays that way.

- Replace old fixtures; install water-saving devices in faucets, toilets, and appliances.
- Wash only full loads of laundry.
