Paterson, N.J. remains under a boil water advisory after massive water main break
The advisory covers all of Paterson, as well as Prospect Park, Haledon and North Haledon. Under the advisory, impacted residents should boil water for at least a minute before using it for drinking, preparing foods, mixing baby formula, washing produce, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and washing dishes.
Monday's update comes after Friday's break, when a 30-inch pipe ruptured near Hinchliffe Stadium, leaving area businesses and residents with little or no water pressure.
Efforts to repair the main continued throughout the weekend. On Saturday, Paterson opened a comfort zone at John F. Kennedy with portable bathrooms. Sunday, shower trailers were added. Free water was also being distributed in multiple locations.
They were hoping to complete repairs by Monday. Even after repairs are made, the boil advisory may remain in effect for several days while the system is tested out.
So far there's no word on the cause of the break.

The station announced Strano's firing in September 2024, around nine months after she was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence in November 2023. She later pleaded guilty to the charge. "I am sad to share that after 22 plus years of dedicated work, WKYC and Tegna decided to terminate my employment after I shared my recovery journey publicly," she posted following her termination.
