Discolored Water Possible In Cherry Hill Due To Main Break

CHERRY HILL, NJ — A water main break in Cherry Hill could impact some residents' running water, officials said Wednesday morning.

The break occurred around Overbrook Drive. Crews are making repairs as of 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to the Merchantville-Pennsauken Water Commission, which is the area's water supplier.

"The surrounding area may experience decreased pressure and slightly discolored water," the MPWC said.

Drivers should avoid the area and use an alternate route.

The MPWC supplies water for about an eighth of the township, including the Garden State Park area. The company's service area also includes Pennsauken, Merchantville and Camden.

New Jersey American Water serves the rest of Cherry Hill.
