State: Utility hid chemicals in drinking water, should pay $400k fine.
TRENTON — Nearly three weeks after two officials at the East Orange Water Commission were indicted on charges they conspired to hide elevated levels of an industrial solvent in drinking water, the state environmental officials today announced more than $400,000 in fines against the utility. The Department of Environmental Protection claims the commission “manipulated” samples and test results so it appeared the water had fewer contaminants than it really did. The water was pumped to more than 80,000 residents in East Orange and South Orange, though the state says no one was put at risk of illness. “We have a high standard of accountability in this state when it comes to the safety and reliability of drinking water,” DEP Commissioner Bob Martin said in a statement. “It is imperative that water providers maintain and provide to us accurate records of water system operations. Any deviation from those standards is a violation of the public trust.”
