Demand Immediate Action for Clean Water Access in Passaic County, NJ

Related Article: No Ukraine Ceasefire and NJ Water Problems Continue - wabcradio.com - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 1:27:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time

Target: Passaic Valley Water Commission, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and Governor Phil Murphy

Goal: Ensure immediate restoration of safe, clean water for all affected residents and demand long-term infrastructure investment to prevent future crises.

Residents of Passaic County, New Jersey, have been left without reliable access to clean water for over a week following a major water main break. Thousands are still under boil water advisories, and outdoor water usage bans are impacting daily life. This crisis highlights the urgent need for investment in public infrastructure and equitable access to basic necessities.

For more than a week, communities in Paterson, Prospect Park, Haledon, and North Haledon have faced water insecurity due to a catastrophic water main break. While some areas have seen partial restoration, tens of thousands remain under boil water advisories or are banned from using water outdoors. This is unacceptable in one of the wealthiest states in the country.

Access to clean water is a fundamental human right. The ongoing crisis exposes the consequences of chronic underinvestment in public infrastructure and the disproportionate impact on working-class and marginalized communities. We call on state and local officials to take immediate action to restore water access and to commit to long-term solutions that prioritize public health, environmental justice, and community resilience.
