Precious. Lifegiving. Water.

Downtown Jersey City remains without water this morning due to a water main break that United Water is trying to find for lack of a better word. Mayor Fulop tweeted that water pressure seems to be really low near Grand and Warren so this is where United Water is centering their search. Nine Jersey City schools will be let out at 12:45 because of the water main break, and the city has issued a boil water advisory for what trickle you may have or will hopefully soon be getting back.

A boil water advisory means boil your water for one minute before using unless it is for say washing clothes, taking a shower or washing dishes.

So downtown, cutoff from the rest of the civilized world yet so close to the teeming skyline of New York City, slides closer to chaos, rioting, and dogs and cats living together unless Batman can get the water main fixed. We're setting the over/under on the time it gets fixed at 2:30pm.
