Boil water advisory issued for parts of Mount Olive Township
MOUNT OLIVE TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – Due to a water main break on Monday and a loss of pressure in the Overlook Development, a boil water advisory is in effect until further notice, according to Mount Olive Township Administrator Andrew Tatarenko.
The affected areas are listed below:
- Overlook Apartments
- Chestnut Way & Red Maple Lane
- Rt. 206 from Main Street to Bartley-Flanders Road
What should you do?
- Do not drink the water without boiling it first.
- Bring all water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
- Once the water is deemed safe, the advisory will be lifted.
- Potable water is available outside of the Senior Center located at 204 Flanders-Drakestown Road. Please bring your own containers.
For more information, contact Michael Lata at 973-584-7086 or 204 Flanders-Drakestown Road, Budd Lake, NJ 0782 or via email at mlata@mtolivetwp.org.
