The City of Bordentown Water Department is advising residents of a water main break on Edgewood Road. Repairs are scheduled to take place today. Residents in the affected area may experience low water pressure or a temporary loss of service while work is underway.
Repairs are expected to be completed within approximately eight hours once work begins. After water service is restored, residents should run their water until it runs clear.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as the Water Department completes these repairs.
