A comfort station has been set up in the parking lot of John F. Kennedy High School in Paterson as a boil water advisory continues for the city of Paterson following Friday's water main break.

Over 100,000 people are under the boil water advisory, including the surrounding towns of Haledon, North Haledon and Prospect Park.

Crews worked through the weekend to repair the ruptured 30-inch line behind Hincliffe Stadium.

The comfort station at the high school includes porta-potties and showers. It's open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday.
