United Water has advised that the precautionary “boil water” advisory in Jersey City has been lifted. It is no longer necessary for customers in Jersey City to boil their water.
United Water said in a statement that the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection reviewed laboratory data from water samples taken throughout the city and agreed that the boil water advisory could be lifted. Tests have confirmed that the water met safety standards while a 24-inch transmission main that broke down near Route 7 was being repaired.
