The town of Carteret is under a boil water advisory after a water main broke along Longfellow Street.
Over 25,000 customers are under a boil water advisory until Sunday morning because of that break.
Water quality tests found that the water quality for customers in Carteret and Port Reading East of the Jersey Turnpike may have been affected by the breach.
Residents should boil their tap water before using it.
The water main break occurred Friday on Longfellow between Carteret Avenue and Pulaski Avenue.
Crews worked throughout the day and into the night, all while the boil water advisories were out.
Middlesex Water said customers should "boil their water for the following: drinking, cooking or baking, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula or food, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets and all other consumption.” Residents do not, however, have to boil water for washing dishes or showering.
Crews were still out Saturday morning working to fix the issue, and the water company says the boil advisory remains in place pending water tests.
Middlesex Water says it is standard procedure to address a potential water quality issue.
Middlesex Water says to let water boil for one minute, take it off the stove and let it cool down before consuming.

A water main break in Middlesex County has prompted a boil water advisory for thousands of customers.
The boil water advisory affects 25,000 customers.
Middlesex Water Company officials say that advisory applies to all residents in Carteret and in Port Reading section of town that is east of the New Jersey Turnpike.
Residents are advised to boil water before consuming and to keep bottles of boiled water in the refrigerator.
Uncooked food or ice made with tap water that was not boiled should be thrown away.
Officials say that the advisory may be in place for 48 hours.
“The water level was literally halfway up to my tires and it was getting higher so I had to move my car,” Carteret resident Aissa Oliva said.
The Oliva family says that they lost water for about four hours Friday.
Luckily the family had gallons of bottle water already so they have been able to cook with that.
More information about the advisory can be found at the Middlesex Water Company website.

DIETRICH — Dietrich residents are still advised to boil their water before drinking it, the Department of Environmental Quality said Wednesday afternoon.
One of the water samples came back clean, but the other sample tested positive for coliform, drinking water and engineering manager Mike Brown said.
The department is flushing and retesting the water, a process that takes at least 24 hours.
The DEQ began testing Dietrich city water last Thursday after a former city employee was found dead in his apartment next to a cannister of nitrogen.
The Dietrich mayor said at the time there were concerns that the man had somehow contaminated the water.
The coliform in the water wouldn’t have been caused by that sort of contamination, Brown said.
Tests over the weekend found that the source water was clean.
Instead, the coliform in the sample is likely a result of the depressurization that occurred during testing, Brown said.
He said that it could have come “from any number of sources,” such as bad handling of the sample.

DIETRICH — The investigation into a Dietrich man found dead in his home last week continues as first responders recover from nitrogen exposure, the Lincoln County sheriff said Tuesday.
Thomas Young, 62, was discovered lying next to a cannister of then-unknown gas — later identified as nitrogen — Thursday morning.
Dietrich Mayor Don Heiken told reporters last week that Young was a former city employee who was fired on May 9 after an altercation that involved police.
Tom Young was listed as an employee with the Public Works Department on the Dietrich city website as of late Tuesday afternoon.
Young was arrested on May 9 — the same day that Heiken says he fired him — after police were dispatched to Dietrich City Hall for a report of an argument, court records say.
A woman who had come to city hall to pay a water bill told police she witnessed a heated argument between Young and another employee, a Lincoln County deputy wrote in an affidavit.
The woman said she started to record the argument between Young and his coworker because she had never seen Young so upset, according to the affidavit.
When the woman called 911 on an office phone, Young attempted to grab the office phone away from her, punching her chin with his fist in the process, she said.
The employee Young was arguing with told police Young frequently got angry at coworkers and that others in the office were afraid of him, according to the deputy’s affidavit.
Initial tests of Dietrich city water came back clean, but a boil advisory was still in effect as of Tuesday afternoon, according to Michael Brown, drinking water and engineering manager with the Department of Environmental Quality.

"We have a sacred obligation — not just Indigenous people — to care for what was given to us by our ancestors, for our next generation….This is the responsibility of every single one of you living on our territory,” he told the audience, to cheers and drumming.
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh refused to condemn peaceful, civil disobedience against the pipeline, saying dissent is part of democracy.
“We’ve got coastal communities that are concerned and are feeling frustrated and let down.
I’m going to use my platform to talk about those issues.” ‘Kinder Morgan put their tail between their legs’ In Vancouver on Tuesday, Kennedy Stewart, who will end his term as a federal member of Parliament for Burnaby South in June, to run for the mayor’s office in Vancouver, gave a fiery speech against the federal government’s decision.
