United Water Customers In Jersey City Must Boil Water

Water Pressure Returned To Normal In Most Of City
Harrington Park, NJ, Sep 01, 2009, 8 a.m.

United Water officials advise that the boil water advisory continues for customers throughout Jersey City. The boil waster advisory was issued earlier today following loss of pressure resulting from a break on 24-inch water transmission main.

Water pressure has returned to normal levels for most of the city. However, customers on the west side of the city will have lower pressure until the water main repair is completed. This includes the area starting on Broadway between Rte 440 and Tonnelle Avenue going to JFK Blvd and continuing south to Danforth Avenue. Customers in this area should conserve water while the repairs on in progress.

United Water crews are working to make the repair as quickly as possible.

Customers in Jersey City are advised to boil their water at a rolling boil for one minute for the following uses: drinking, cooking, baking, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets or other consumption.

The boil water advisory is in place until further notice.
