Boil water advisory lifted in Hoboken after backup system implemented

However, residents are strongly advised to check for updates throughout the next several days as the boil water advisory may again be enacted. Crews have managed to restore water pressure in the majority of the city, but residents in high-rise buildings still have low pressure, and are not able to get adequate heat.

Meanwhile, work is continuing today by Suez Water NJ to fix a faulty valve in Jersey City that the company had tried to close to stem the flow of water out of a broken main and onto city streets in Hoboken’s southwest corner.

After the main break, a 36-inch valve broke at Newark and Harrison Streets, compounding the problem. “It needs to be repaired before they can do repairs in Hoboken”, said Zimmer.

A boil water advisory has been lifted in Hoboken after a backup system was put into place. The water flow was shut down around 3:45 a.m. According to SUEZ, the installation of the valve should be complete before the end of Wednesday, allowing the pressure to resume to normal.

“In order to lessen demand on the system while Hoboken temporarily receives its water through SUEZ Water in Weehawken, a water conservation advisory will continue for residents in Hoboken and Hudson County. We also owe a debt of gratitude to the hard work and effort of the City of Hoboken leadership, the Office of Emergency Management and the police and fire department for their assistance”.

Empty and clean automatic ice makers and water chillers. The city will continue to supply water through trucks at various locations and anybody commuting into the city is still urged to take public transportation. Several streets will remain closed until further notice: HOBOKEN ROAD CLOSURES: – Observer Highway closed West of Henderson Street to Jersey Ave.
