Tuesday, October 29, 2024
HOBOKEN, New Jersey (WABC) -- A water main break put a section of Hoboken under water.

It happened early Tuesday morning on 5th Street at Clinton Street.



Veolia Water says there is no boil water advisory and, "Crews have isolated the 12" main at 5th & Clinton and pressure will be stabilizing systemwide. Repairs will require a service interruption impacting Church Towers. We will continue to provide updates on the status of the repair."



Hoboken residents are warned that the 12-inch water main break could cause low water pressure.

NJ Transit buses are being diverted around the break.
