Water emergency grips Trenton as pumps fail
A broken pump at Trenton’s 100 million gallon reservoir created a severe water shortage affecting about 250 000 people in Trenton and nearby towns. Mayor Arthur Holland declared a state of emergency as classrooms closed and businesses halted. Tank trucks will distribute water to homes and critical sites while Pennsylvania and New Jersey towns supply water. Government offices reduced staff and a legislative session may be postponed.
