Water Main Break Prompts Boil Water Advisory In Some Camden Neighborhoods

By Mike Dougherty

CAMDEN, NJ (CBS) -- Due to a water main break, parts of Camden are under a boil water advisory.

American Water customers who are west of the Cooper River are being told to bring tap water to a boil for at least one minute prior to consumption.

Low water pressure is the result of a water main break and that's cause for concern.

Officials say home filtration systems will not remove all of the micro organisms, so residents and business owners are being asked to throw away ice cubes made with unboiled water and to use bottled water as much as possible, even for brusing your teeth and your pets.
