April 6, 2024 RANDOLPH, NJ- The Morris County MUA is advising that due to the size of the damaged water main and the extent of the damage, additional crews and replacement concrete piping will be required to complete the repairs. At this time, the MUA is advising that these repairs will continue all day and possibly extend longer.
All efforts are being made to make these repairs as quickly and a safely as possible and updates will be provided when available. The boil water advisory remains in place and residents are reminded to take precautions or use bottled water until this situation is resolved. Effective immediately and until further notice, ALL of Randolph Township is instructed to bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow the tap water to cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking; preparing foods; mixing baby formula, food, juices or drinks; washing vegetables and fruit; cooking; making ice; brushing teeth; and washing dishes until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
