Hoboken water main break floods streets – NBC New York

A 12-inch water main break flooded streets in Hoboken early Tuesday, forcing road closures and bus detours as some vehicles became stuck.

Footage from Chopper 4 showed water pouring from the street, stranding some cars as crews worked nearby.

According to Veolia Water NJ, it appears to be the main break on Clinton between Fifth and Sixth streets. The utility said its crews were on site to isolate the damaged main line, which would restore water pressure elsewhere in the system.

There is no boil water advisory in effect.

City officials closed Clinton Street between Fourth and Sixth streets to aid in containment efforts. Hoboken police responded to the scene and NJ Transit buses were rerouted.

PSE&G said there were no outages in the area.

The investigation is ongoing.
