Full Notification

 
Montville Township is providing notification that a water main break has occurred at Cheryl Road near the intersection of Flanders Drive, Pine Brook which has caused some customers within our service area to be without water or experience a significant loss of pressure.  A potential or actual threat to the quality of water being provided to you currently exists.  As a precaution, we are implementing a limited Boil Water Advisory until testing of the water supply is deemed satisfactory.

What should I do? What does this mean?

Effective immediately and until further notice, customers within the impacted service area which includes the streets of: Breton Dr, Brittany Rd, Cheryl Rd, Demoray Ct, Duryea Pl, East Cheryl Rd, Flanders Dr, Garrity Ter, Gathering Rd, Hamilton Pl, Hilldale Rd, Horseneck Rd, Konner Ave, Le Mans Pl, Lee Ct, Lorraine Dr, Michelle Way, Montgomery Ave, Orchard Dr, Pellington Ct, Rand Rd, Rennes St, Robin Ct, Rutledge Rd, Sherwin Ter, St Malo Dr, Stuart Ct, Sylvan Dr, Tudor Pl, Underwood Rd, Valley View Dr, Westminster Dr, Windsor Dr, Woodland Rd & York St. are instructed to bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow the tap water to cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking; preparing foods; mixing baby formula, food, juices or drinks; washing vegetables and fruit; cooking; making ice; brushing teeth; and washing dishes until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.

The following measures are also recommended:

• Throw away uncooked food or beverages or ice cubes made with tap water during the day of the advisory;
• Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking;
• Do not swallow water while showering or bathing;
• Rinse hand-washed dishes with a diluted bleach solution (one tablespoon of household bleach per gallon of tap water) or clean your dishes in a dishwasher using the hot wash cycle and dry cycle;
• Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water; most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms;
• Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries;
• Provide pets with drinking water that has been boiled (and cooled).

Please continue to boil your water or use bottled water until you are notified that the water quality is satisfactory.  This advisory will remain in effect until repairs are completed and testing shows the water quality to be safe. 

We are working as quickly as possible to restore your water quality.  Thank you for your patience.  If customers have any questions please contact the Water and Sewer Dept at 973-331-3330.
