New Jersey American Water officials say that repairs on a water main break on Morris Avenue (Route 82) in Union Township are expected to be completed early Saturday morning.
Officials with the company said that crews made significant progress on Friday in repairing the water main.
They say that water has been restored to most businesses nearby. However, residents in Union and Hillside may still have discolored water or low pressure as the repairs continue.
Morris Avenue will remain closed while road repairs continue.
