A boil water advisory has been partially lifted in Paterson, New Jersey.

The Passaic Valley Water Commission announced Friday that the boil water advisory is no longer in effect for customers in the area of Broadway, as well as all streets south of Broadway, east of Spruce Street and west of Route 20.

Customers in that area are advised to run both their hot and cold water faucets for eight to 10 minutes to flush out their service connection and interior plumbing.

The PVWC also suggests:

• Cleaning or replacing shower heads and faucet aerators,
• Draining and refilling hot water heaters,
• Running water softeners/cartridge filters through a regeneration cycle or other procedures recommended by the manufacturer,
• Flushing refrigerator water-dispensing machines for at least five minutes before using,
• And running automatic ice dispensers through a 24-hour cycle and getting rid of ice made prior to the boil water advisory.

The advisory remains in effect for Paterson customers who are not in the specified area, as well as for Manchester Utilities Authority customers in North Haledon and Haledon.

Customers in Paterson and the surrounding area have been under the boil water advisory for the past week as crews have worked to repair a large water main break.

Just as Paterson residents get water back, another small water main break hits

Part of Paterson finally got water back Thursday night only to lose service again Friday due to another water main break.

Water company officials said the water main break near Wayne and Crosby avenues was minor and crews worked to make repairs. 

It happened Friday morning, soon after officials announced all Paterson residents affected by last week's major water main breaks had their water restored and could shower and flush their toilets once again.

The previous breaks involved much larger pipes - 30 inches and 24 inches.

The Wayne Avenue break is much smaller, with an 8-inch pipe. It was replaced within hours, and officials said a key thing is for residents to continue to conserve water. 

"This is one of the artifacts of trying to fill this system. This can happen. There is other reasons this happens, too. Somebody might have used a hydrant that they shouldn't have and closed it too quickly," said Jim Mueller, executive director of the Passaic Valley Water Commission. 

"It's a much smaller main, much easier to fix. Less machinery needed," said Charles Mills of the Passaic Valley Water Commission. 

Some of those residents told CBS News New York they just got their water back when they suddenly lost it again. 

"It is disappointing in a sense, for 100%, no doubt about it," one resident said. 

"We got water back yesterday, and then this morning there is no water again. And so I think, fingers crossed, they'll get it fixed real quick," Paterson resident Golan Mustavi said. 

As for the larger pipes that broke on Aug. 8, crews are continuing to make repairs, and are hoping to have new pipes in place and commissioned by Sunday.
