Residents of Patterson and Prospect Park are urged to boil their tap water for at least one minute before use to kill any bacteria that may be in the water.
Hilton and North Hilton are also under a boil water advisory as the local water company serving those towns buys water from the PVWC and is impacted by the main break.
The Passaic County Health Department has ordered all businesses serving food in the affected area shut down.
PVWC handed out bottled water to affected people at Hillford Park today and portable showers and toilets were made available at John F Kennedy High School.
Mayor Andre Seah today shut down flash pads and asked residents to conserve water until the issue is resolved.
