City of Atlantic City Boil Water Advisory Lifted
The City of Atlantic City is announcing the Boil Water Advisory that was called for the entire city on Friday night has been lifted as of Sunday afternoon, January 7, 2024. Mayor Marty Small, Sr. called a news conference, along with officials with the Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority (ACMUA) as well as the city’s Health and Human Services department and Office of Emergency Management, to provide the update.
The Boil Water Advisory was lifted once the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection returned sample results from a water test conducted by the ACMUA on Saturday morning. Tests showed there is no contamination in the water, and water consumption may resume as normal. Turnaround time for the testing was 18 hours. The ACMUA recommends running faucets for three to five minutes to flush service lines out, clearing and emptying automatic ice makers and water chillers, and draining and refilling hot water heaters only if its below 113 degrees. Anything with a softener or cartridge filter should be drained and refilled as well.
The City of Atlantic City and the ACMUA would like to thank all residents and businesses for their cooperation, understanding and patience throughout the weekend
