Localized Boil Water Advisory LIFTED

The localized Boil Water Advisory for parts of eastern Hoboken has been LIFTED, and it is no longer necessary for impacted water customers to boil water before consumption.  

On Sept. 24, Hoboken residents were notified there was a potential for the drinking water to be compromised in parts of the City. This was due to pressure loss when a contractor struck and damaged a water main in the area of 9th Street and Sinatra Drive. As a precaution, residents from Second to 12th Street and Bloomfield Street to Sinatra Drive were placed under a boil water advisory.  

Water quality testing following repairs to the main shows the water quality meets all regulatory standards.  

The following measures are strongly encouraged for those impacted:   

• 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 filter 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).
