What had first been described as a relatively short-term lack of service due to a water main break is now nearly a week old, and has continued to leave more than 200,000 people in four different cities and towns with a compromised water supply,

Officials said Tuesday that a leak preventing water pressure from returning following last week's massive water main break in Paterson, N.J. is being repaired. Nearly 200,000 people remain under a boil water advisory for a fifth straight day.

A major Paterson water main break near Hinchliffe Stadium leaves 200K with low pressure; repairs ongoing, boil water advisory remains.
