Holiday water main breaks in Edison, Wayne, and Essex Fells have caused significant disruptions for residents. In Edison, a water main break on December 26, 2024, left some residents without water. The break occurred near Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, causing water to pool in the streets and leading to low or no water pressure for South Edison residents. This incident follows another water main break on Route 27 in Edison just days earlier.
In Wayne, residents have also experienced water service interruptions due to a water main break on Southway Drive. The break has affected several neighborhoods, including Southway Drive, Bluebell Drive, Wisteria Drive, and Columbine Drive. Emergency crews have been working tirelessly to restore services, but residents have been advised to prepare for potential water service anomalies.
Essex Fells has not been spared either, with water main breaks causing similar issues for its residents. The city’s water department has been actively responding to the situation, but full restoration of services is still pending.
For the latest updates on the situation, residents are encouraged to check their local water utility websites and follow their social media channels. Additionally, local news outlets such as News 12 New Jersey are providing ongoing coverage and updates on the progress of repairs.
