Hoboken Under Boil Water Advisory After Jersey City Main Break

Hoboken, New Jersey remains under a boil water advisory due to a recent water main break that has affected water pressure in the area. The break occurred at the intersection of Jersey Avenue and 18th Street, impacting both Hoboken and Jersey City, although Jersey City has lifted its advisory. Veolia, the utility managing the water system, has completed emergency repairs and is working to restore water pressure while advising residents to flush any discolored water before using it. The advisory recommends boiling water for consumption-related activities until testing confirms it is safe. This precautionary measure is necessary as water pressure fell below regulatory thresholds during repairs. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates from Veolia regarding the status of the advisory and service restoration.
