As we began our work to gather data to better understand this issue, we proactively began conducting sampling and offered free bottled water to a limited number of residents across the street from the Cherry Hill plant . We also offered to coordinate and pay for a water supply connection from Artesian, the water utility provider in the area, for these residents.
The work conducted is in line with our step-wise, data-driven approach, which utilizes sampling results and the science to guide our ongoing efforts. We are continuing to work with the MDE and plan to make decisions on next steps using this new data.
