Water main break in Hoboken makes for messy morning
HOBOKEN, N.J - It was a messy scene in Hoboken Wednesday morning after a water main break.
Crews were digging up the road at First and Jefferson starting around 7 a.m.
Suez Water says a six foot connector pipe from 1890 broke, causing the leak.
This 6-foot connector pipe was installed in 1890. Unfortunately 132-year-old pipes do fail, illustrating the importance of work being done to upgrade water infrastructure in @CityofHoboken.
