HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J., Oct. 28, 2002 -- New Jersey- American Water Co. will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for major upgrades at its Swimming River Water Treatment Plant.

The groundbreaking will be held on Tuesday to celebrate the start of projects involving state-of-the-art upgrades, which will implement new water treatment technology to further improve drinking water quality and help meet future water quality regulations.

The upgrades, estimated to cost about $20,000,000, will use ozonation as part of the treatment.

Ozonation is one of the most effective ways for killing microorganisms found in surface water. New Jersey-American has had much success using the process at its Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Facility located in Burlington County.

The Swimming River Treatment Plant provides the majority of the water supply for New Jersey-American's northern portion of its Monmouth County service area.

New Jersey-American Water Co. is the state's largest investor-owned water utility, serving over one million people in 124 communities throughout the state. New Jersey-American is a subsidiary of American Water Works Co. Inc. American Water Works Co. is the largest publicly traded U.S. corporation devoted exclusively to the business of water. Its 6,600 associates provide water, wastewater and other related services to nearly 16 million people in 29 states and three Canadian provinces.
