About Trenton Water Works
Purchased by the City of Trenton in 1859, Trenton Water Works (TWW) is one of the oldest and largest publicly owned water systems in the United States. TWW supplies approximately 28 million gallons of water per day to a quarter-million consumers in a five-municipality service area comprised of Trenton, Ewing Township, parts of Hamilton Township, Lawrence Township, and Hopewell Township. TWW operates a 60-million-gallon water-filtration plant and water-distribution system that consists of a 100-million-gallon reservoir, 683 miles of water mains, three pump stations, nearly 8,000 valves, 3,517 fire hydrants, and six interconnections between TWW and other water suppliers. TWW serves approximately 63,000 metered customers.
About Our Capital Plan
In 2019, TWW launched a $405-million, six-year capital plan.
This level of investment is necessary to remove lead service lines from our entire system, upgrade our Water-Filtration Plant, and 683-mile water distribution system, comply with federal and state regulatory mandates, establish decentralized water storage to protect the water supply, and increase operational efficiency.
