Upon receiving the result, SUEZ immediately notified local officials and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice.

Got a robocall from Suez. We are under a boil advisory due to E-coli bacteria being found in the water. This includes any water used to make ice cubes.
