The city said three different chemicals leaked into the Delaware River after a latex factory spill. At first, officials issued alerts to residents urging them to use bottled water and avoid the tap, but on Sunday they revised their assessment after conducting safety tests and ruling that the water is safe to drink, bathe in, and use for cooking.
