Overview

• Boil-water advisory has been lifted for about 77,000 Paterson customers south of Broadway while Haledon, North Haledon and parts of Prospect Park remain under restrictions.
• Roughly 30 percent of Haledon residents—about 1,000 properties—still lack reliable service under the borough’s declared water emergency.
• Municipal distribution centers, refilling stations and private showers at the Haledon Recreation Center continue operating to support affected households and local businesses.
• Crews have identified additional minor breaks and valve issues, extending the timeline as they vent air, flush sections and await bacteriological testing before full restoration.
• Senator Benjie Wimberly, Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter and Assemblyman Al Abdelaziz have petitioned Governor Murphy for emergency aid, including utility-bill credits and small-business grants.
