Boil Water Advisory is Lifted – August 12, 2026 at 2:30 p.m.
 
FOR CUSTOMERS OF FAIR LAWN WATER DEPARTMENT NJ0217001
 
Customers of Fair Lawn Water Department were notified on August 10, 2026 of a potential or actual threat to the quality of water due to a water main break, and were advised to boil the tap water before using as a precautionary measure.  We are pleased to report that the repairs have been completed and subsequent water quality testing shows the water quality to be safe.
THE BOIL WATER ADVISORY IS LIFTED and it is no longer necessary to boil your water before using.  The following measures are strongly encouraged at this time:

• Run your water faucets for 3-5 minutes to flush your service connection and interior plumbing with water from the service main.
• Empty and clean your automatic ice makers and water chillers.
• Drain and refill your hot water heater if the temperature is set below 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Service connections with a water softener/cartridge filters should be run through a regeneration cycle or other procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
• Water reservoirs in tall buildings should be drained and refilled (as applicable). 

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.  If you have any questions or comments, please contact: John Williams, Fair Lawn Water Department at 201-794-5374.
