Water Main Break In Nutley: Discoloration, Low Pressure Possible

NUTLEY, NJ — A water main break in Nutley may leave some people with discolored water and low pressure on Wednesday.

The break took place on East White Terrace and may impact residents and businesses in the area. Drivers should expect road closures and detours, Nutley officials said.

The township issued the following advisory about the main break:

“Brown water occurs when the flow of water in the mains is altered. That can occur from unauthorized use of fire hydrants, firefighting, or a water main break. Please note that even though 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 to 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,” the town’s advisory stated.
