8/10/22 - 9:00am Update:
As the repair continues in Belleville/Newark on the Newark Water System, Nutley may see disruptions in pressure and discoloration of water throughout the Township.
If discoloration exists avoid washing clothes.
As of this update, there are no restrictions on water use. The water is safe to drink. The Boil Water Advisory heard on news outlets DOES NOT pertain to Nutley.
As circumstances dictate, there may be further updates during the day/days ahead.
Thank you!
Discolored water persists throughout the Township due to mutual aid of the our local water purveyors (Passaic Valley Water and North Jersey Water) in helping to increase pressure within the Newark Water system.
Opening the various interconnection causes turbulent changes which lead to discoloration. The water is safe, although not aesthetically pleasing.
Avoid washing clothes until at least tomorrow or when water clears.
Again, there is no need to boil water. Resist unnecessary water use to maintain water pressure in all areas of town.
Thank You!
3:45pm Update:
The Boil Water Alert issued by Newark Water, Belleville and Bloomfield DOES NOT pertain to Nutley.
In order to continue to have sufficient water pressure in the Newark water area (west of Ridge Road / Van Winkle Avenue), the Nutley Water Department is asking residents to avoid all unnecessary water use for 24 hours.
No watering of lawns for 24 hours. Please disable water sprinkler timers.
Any measures residents can do to conserve water will be appreciated and help our entire Nutley Water System. Thank you for your cooperation!
