The water company is saying the water is safe to drink...I'd have a REALLY hard time believing that. I hope the people affected by this are boiling their water just in case.

There's always a water break in Hoboken if there was ever a place that needed a water pipe upgrade it's Hoboken

Yeah, I just saw that on the news - they broke the main while digging by it. The water looks like it shot 20' in the air, like the TV shows where the car hits a hydrant. Imagine being the guy who did that. Oops!

Standard for Hoboken. Always shuts down the main entrance to town.

Probably because of the water main break

I guess they forgot to "call before you dig" LOL

That's what happens when you design a town with a "main entrance".

When I lived in Hoboken for two years i was googling “waders” every time it rained
It’d rain for 10 minutes and cars would be floating down the street

Reminds me of that almost 100 year old pipe that broke in middle of Manhattan that no one knew about.

We're at the ass end of a peninsula, unless you're swimming or paddling there's literally only so many ways to physically enter this area

Random steam leaks are so common in NYC its a symbol of the city at this point, but at least usually the pressure valves do their job to prevent a full on explosion. Still only going to get worse though as our infrastructure crumbles

CITY OF HOBOKEN: The ruptured water main has been isolated. Water will return and pressure will stabilize over the next few hours. nixle.us/EAJ7P
