There is a water main break on VAN WINKLE AVENUE - between Hopper Ave and Mount Vernon Street. Residents in the area, including those who receive Newark Water (west of Ridge Road and Van Winkle Avenue)  may have discolored water and low water pressure.
 
Brown water occurs when the flow of water in the mains is altered. That can occur from unauthorized use of fire hydrants, fire fighting, or a water main break. Please note that eventhough it is discolored, the water is still safe.
 
 The break should be repaired shortly and water pressure will be restored.  Please run water for 10-15 minutes or until water clears to address any discolored water.
 
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to complete repairs and restore road conditions as quickly and safely as possible.
