75ds agoNew Jersey American Water says the company has finally isolated the break on a water main on Morris Avenue (Route 82) in Union Township.
American Water officials say repairs are now underway, but they say it will take some time due to the debt of the water main.
The main broke earlier this week – shutting down the roadway and impacting businesses.
“The only thing I’m hearing is possible Friday. There’s no way this is gonna be resolved by Friday…a week before Christmas? Families need their cars. Employees need to be paid as we’ve been shut down,” says Michael Vindman, of Ed’s Auto Body.
Several stores in the strip mall in the Lowes and Applebee’s shopping center have reopened. Applebee’s will remain closed until the water main is repaired.
Traffic continues to be detoured.
