A water main break that happened in south Hoboken on Sunday afternoon is continuing to cause problems after flooding parts of the city.
Although water pressure has been restored to the city affected by the break, residents have been advised to boil their water “until further notice,” according to published reports.
The water main break and the resulting flood shut down many of the streets in the city’s south side prompting city officials to advise residents to avoid the south and to take mass transit.
