A boil water advisory is no longer in effect for parts of Hoboken and Jersey City following a water main break earlier this week.

SUEZ Water announced that the advisory was lifted at 4 p.m. Thursday. The company says that lab results showed that the drinking water quality met all regulatory requirements. SUEZ says that the water may be discolored, but is safe to drink. The company suggests running the water for 15 minutes to allow sediment to pass through the pipes.

The advisory was issued construction crews broke a 36-inch water main near Route 7. That main feeds water into both cities.

Residents were without water for a time, prompting water tankers to be brought in for some of the area hospitals that are treating COVID-19 patients.
