Full Notification

Veolia crews have replaced the ruptured water main at Observer Highway and Madison Street. Crews are restoring service to that main, which will further assist with water pressure levels citywide. 

Due to fluctuations in water pressure, future water main breaks are possible as the system stabilizes.  

Residents should continue to avoid the area. Drivers should enter and exit the city from the north.  

If residents are continuing to experience no water pressure, they should first contact building management and then the Office of Constituent Services at [email protected] or call 201-420-2000 ext. 1311 

A precautionary boil water advisory remains in effect. Residents and businesses should boil their water for at least one minute for the following: washing dishes, drinking, cooking, or baking, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula or food, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets, and all other consumption.

Water does not have to be boiled for showering or washing clothes. 

Water bottles are currently available for pick-up at the Public Works Garage located at Observer Highway and Willow Avenue.
