New Jersey American Water has LIFTED the mandatory boil water advisory that was issued Monday to impacted towns in Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties. Analytical results from bacteriological samples taken from the water system met all state and federal water quality standards from samples collected on Tuesday, August 3rd.
The advisory was issued on Monday, August 2 as a precautionary measure due to a loss of pressure from a transmission main leak along Possumtown Road in Piscataway, N.J.
Customers no longer need to boil their water, but they should flush household pipes, ice makers, water fountains, etc. prior to using for drinking or cooking. Additionally, as the system has fully recovered from the issue, customers in these communities and surrounding towns no longer need to conserve their non-essential water use and may resume using water as usual.
Because the Boil Water Advisory has been lifted, the bottled water distribution locations will not be open on Thursday, August 5, 2021.

New Jersey American Water customers in Clark, Linden and Roselle are advised that New Jersey American Water is providing bottled water at the following locations in Union County parks:
Water will be available at both locations from 5pm until 10pm. on Tuesday, August 3rd and from 9am until 10pm on Wednesday, August 4th. Additional information can be found here.
The leaking transmission main has been mostly isolated and water pressure is being restored in the system. As water pressure begins to return to customers’ homes, it may be discolored. If this occurs, customers should allow a cold water tap in the lowest part of their home to run until water is clear before collecting it to boil for consumption.
