Water Main Work, NFL Draft Night Party, Face of Bangz Competition and More

Monday begins water main work in the area around Orange and Brooklawn roads. Residents in the area will have their water turned off and may experience disruptions until Wednesday.

The Montclair Water Bureau will use a “hyper-flushing” process in the south end of town to improve water flows. The work will require shutting off water service in the area for a number of hours each day. Some water discoloration may occur after the work is completed, however once the mains are flushed, the discoloration will disappear.
