I believe Bensalem gets theirs from Bristol Township which is up river from the spill, and was shut off just in case anyway. Sounds like Aqua is getting the water from further North in Bucks for right now.

This was the work of Doug Ritter (and his lobbyist) over at kniferights.org so if you appreciate it, consider making a donation. They also have a big raffle each year to fund these efforts.

From what I've gathered (I live near it), the spill, while not good, is not really a toxic material, some latex coating and the amount wasn't that much. Like one train car's worth. I seriously doubt it'll be an issue. I hate to say it but considering how scummy people are, 8,000 gallons of paints and such are probably dumped in that river normally as it is 1 gallon at a time by people pouring stuff out when they are done DIY projects. Watch the news tomorrow, if anything big is actually happening you'll hear about it, otherwise, continue with your trip plans.
