Philly recommends most residents drink bottled water after Bucks County chemical leak

The advisory comes out of an abundance of caution following a latex spill from chemical plant Trinseo PLC into a Delaware River tributary on Friday

There is no need to buy water at this time, as residents can safely consume tap water, according to officials.
