FOR CUSTOMERS OF Hackettstown MUA, NJ2108001

Customers of Hackettstown MUA were notified on 7/27/2026 of a possible problem with the
drinking water due to the presence of E. coli in Well 4, and were advised to boil the tap water
before using as a precautionary measure. We are pleased to report that subsequent water quality
testing shows the water quality to be safe.

THE BOIL WATER ADVISORY IS LIFTED and it is no longer necessary to boil your water
before using. The following measures are strongly encouraged at this time:
• Run your water faucets for 3-5 minutes to flush your service connection and interior
plumbing with water from the service main.
• Empty and clean your automatic ice makers and water chillers.
• Drain and refill your hot water heater if the temperature is set below 113 degrees
Fahrenheit.
• Service connections with a water softener/cartridge filters should be run through a
regeneration cycle or other procedures recommended by the manufacturer.
• Water reservoirs in tall buildings should be drained and refilled (as applicable).
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience. If you have any questions
or comments, please contact:
