Boil water advisory lifted in Camden

CAMDEN, N.J. - June 23, 2012

The water pressure and other levels have been stabilized and water test samples determined the water is safe for drinking.

The mandatory water use restriction for non-essential water use has also been rescinded.

Officials determined that a water main break was the main cause of the problem, however, the unauthorized use of fire hydrants contributed to the problem.

United Water recommends that residents run water faucets for 3 to 5 minutes to flush plumbing, empty and clean automatic ice makers and water chiller, and drain hot water heaters if the temperature is set below 113 degrees.
