NOTICE: Brown Water Alert
The Borough augments its water supply with the bulk purchase of treated water from the Passaic Valley Water Commission (PVWC). Please be advised that PVWC experienced a large water main break over the weekend which is causing some areas in the Borough to experience brown water. This is expected and a normal occurrence when large existing water mains are disturbed. If you experience discolored water, caution should be used in washing white clothes; however, the discoloration poses no health hazard and the water is safe for consumption. Please allow the water to run from your tap until it clears. If you have any questions regarding this program, call 201-794-5305 during normal working hours or 201-794-5374 at all other times.
The Borough apologizes for any inconvenience during this time and requests your cooperation.
Instructions:
Please allow the water to run from your tap until it clears.
