Repairs have been completed in Randolph after a water main break affected customers in the area shortly after Friday's earthquake.

RANDOLPH, N.J. -- A boil water advisory in Randolph has been expanded following a water main break believed to have been caused by Friday's earthquake.The Morris County Municipal Utility Authority said Saturday that repairs on the water main on Pleasant Hill Road have been completed, but a precautionary boil water advisory does remain in effect until further notice.

The MCMUA says the boil water advisory will likely last 'a couple of days until the water is tested and determined to be safe for drinking.'Customers are asked to minimize water use during this time.Impacted residents should bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and allow it to cool before using.Neighbors say the water main break sent water shooting into the air around 1 p.m. Friday, a few hours after a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Readington Township.
