NJ American spokeswoman Maureen Duffy said Tuesday that customers in Red Bank, Shrewsbury Township, Shrewsbury, Fair Haven, Little Silver, Oceanport, Rumson, Eatontown and residents in Tinton Falls who live north of Tinton Avenue, should continue to boil household water before use, at least through today.
Duffy said the advisory is just a precaution and stressed there was no evidence of contamination in the water supply.
NJ American issued a statement advising that customers in the affected towns throw away uncooked food, ice cubes and beverages made with tap water Monday. Water should be boiled for one minute and allowed to cool before drinking or using.
