Crews continued to locate and isolate the water main break in Hoboken on Tuesday in order to conduct repairs and restore pressure.

Veolia has not issued a boil water advisory and according to Veolia, the water is safe to drink but residents throughout the city will continue to experience low to no water pressure.

A construction crew working on an unrelated project mistakenly struck a water main, a 16-inch pipe, on Observer Highway and Madison Street, sending jets of water streaming into streets, snarling traffic, and forcing pedestrians to tip-toe around the water.

The city remains in a state of emergency and drivers are advised to avoid southwest Hoboken. Drivers should use northern routes to enter and exit the City.

As a result of the water main break, Hoboken University Medical Center announced Tuesday afternoon that it would proceed with a “strategic and coordinated evacuation plan” to ensure the safety of patients and staff in the hospital.

Some patients have been transferred already, including a mother in labor and patients in need of dialysis, according to the hospital.

Meanwhile, public schools and all municipal offices were closed on Tuesday due to water main impacts.

Overnight, the city’s water feed was transitioned from the Jersey City water feed to the Weehawken feed.

While a larger number of residences have access to water, those living in buildings on higher floors may continue to have low to no water pressure.

Veolia was attempting to isolate the broken main while not cutting water to the entire City.

Officials said they are getting closer to identifying the exact location of the break, but because of the complexity of the water main infrastructure at that location and the interconnectivity with Jersey City, they have been unable to isolate the broken main.

No boil water advisory has been issued and Veolia has stated the water is safe to drink. In the event there is any discoloration of water, residents are advised to let the water run to flush out localized systems.

Businesses without running water including restaurants, salons, gyms, medical offices, etc must remain closed per the Health Department. Any business with running water can continue to operate.
