On October 5, the North Jersey District Water Supply Commission experienced a major water main break in a six-foot diameter line, Montclair Mayor Sean Spiller said inannouncing the declaration. The break also interrupted service on a nearby four-foot water main. As a result, residents in Montclair and Glen Ridge are now being asked to stop using water unless it is essential.
"With the steps we have taken and with your assistance, I am optimistic that we can meet the moment," Spiller said. As of Sunday morning, the list of prohibited non-essential uses of water in Glen Ridge included watering lawns and outdoor gardens, washing driveways and sidewalks, running partial loads in washing machines and dishwashers and operating non-essential ice machines.
