United Water Asks Residents To Conserve Water

From the city: 

On Monday, October 18, 2010 United Water Jersey City maintenance crews will shut down the water supply aqueduct for the City of Jersey City to perform maintenance and repairs at both the water treatment plant and aqueduct. The aqueduct will be out of service until Friday, October 29, 2010.

United Water has made arrangements with other water suppliers in the area to supply Jersey City and Hoboken customers with water during the shutdown.

United Water is asking all customers to conserve water during this period. That means using water only for essential purposes such as taking quicker showers in the morning and washing only full loads of dishes and clothes at night.

Customers may experience some discolored water while the system is shut down. Should there be any discoloration, it poses no health threat, but can be aesthetically unpleasant. Customers should, however, let it run clear before washing clothes.

Customers with questions can call the United Water customer service center at 800-575-4433.
