i think that area should be unaffected. it's just sort of a traffic hell more than anything.

Bergen/Lafayette coming back up-and you can thank me, as I just schlepped back 10 gallons of water from the supermarket so it was bound to happen!

No/low water in Bergen-Lafayette. I draw two conclusions:
1) someone thinks we are part of downtown; 2) no one cares about Bergen-Lafayette. Just got off the phone with United Water--I was right; we don't exist.

15,000 to 20,000 people in the downtown area outside of Newport have been affected. According to the United Water website, the affected areas include areas from Hoboken Avenue to Grand Street, Dudley Street to Second Street, Louis Marin Boulevard to Merseles Street, Caven Point Avenue to Grand Street and Louis Marin Boulevard to Hudson Street.
For more information, customers can visit www.unitedwater.com/uwjc or call 800-575-4433.

I've been listening to the JC Police/Fire radio chatter at work. It seems there are multiple reports now of improved water pressure readings at fire hydrants down on Grand Street by Exchange Place and even at the intersection of 18th and Coles St. So perhaps things are improving now.

Mods, can we edit the title of this thread? The water main issue seems to be affecting all of downtown and the break appears to be near Warren and Grand.
The title is confusing and people may be skipping over the thread.

If it's a 30" main, as suspected, that's thousands of gallons per minute. How can you not find that? Anybody see cars floating down the street?

Somehow it is getting to the Hudson River -- or watch out for giant sink holes.

What's weird is that they can't seem to locate the problem. How is thousands of gallons of water just 'disappearing' somewhere along the way?

UA just released a boiling water advisory... doesn't look like they're going to fix this until later on in the day
