El consejo de agua hervida levantado en Hoboken

Customers of Hoboken Water Utility were notified on February 28, 2023 of a possible problem with the drinking water due to a 16-inch, water main break, and were advised to boil the tap water before using as a precautionary measure.  The city is 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:

• Conduce sus grifos de agua durante 3-5 minutos para que la conexión de servicio y la tubería interior se enjueguen con agua del servicio principal.
• Vacía y limpia sus máquinas automáticas de hielo y refrigeradores de agua.
• Descargue y rellenar su calentador de agua caliente si la temperatura está por debajo de los 70 grados Fahrenheit.
• Las conexiones de servicio con filtros de ablandador/cartucho de agua deben realizarse a través de un ciclo de regeneración u otros procedimientos recomendados por el fabricante.
• Los depósitos de agua de edificios altos deben ser drenados y reabastecidos (en su caso).

Veolia continues to flush fire hydrants to stabilize pressure within the water system as an added precaution. If you see water coming out of hydrants, be assured, this is intentional.

Instructions:

Empty and clean automatic ice makers and water chillers. Drain and refill hot water heaters if the temperature is set below 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Run water softener/cartridge filters through a regeneration cycle or the procedures recommended by the product manufacturer. Run water faucets for 3 to 5 minutes to flush the service connection and interior plumbing. Replace other water filters, as they are disposable and may be contaminated. Water reservoirs in tall buildings should be drained and refilled, if applicable.
