The New Jersey Advance reports:
Some 17 hours later, and hours after a ruptured 36-inch water main was repaired, there are many in Jersey City with no water or low pressure, residents are saying. In a 7:50 a.m. update, Suez Water officials say the company that services the city’s water is investigating outages at locations across the city.
The 3-foot main, near Route 7 and the Charlotte Circle in Jersey City, was reported broken at approximately 3 p.m. Tuesday after contractor was conducting non-utility work and hit the water main that feeds Jersey City.
The water main break has also affected a number of residences in Hoboken. For those that have water, officials say it should be boiled for a minute before consumption.
Update 4/28/20-3:50 PM: #JerseyCity residents, please be advised that a contractor in Kearny was conducting non-utility work on Rte 7 and hit the 36” water main that feeds #JerseyCity. SUEZ crews are in route to isolate break and make emergency repairs. More information to come. pic.twitter.com/6dvLOBZupW

Update: The water shutoff is under 4ft of water so we are working on diversions now to locate. We’re asking residents to boil water until further notice. Furthermore, we are sending potable water to local hospitals while they still have pressure we want to set up support system. pic.twitter.com/rSJ3xPNk7h
