Pressures were severely compromised by a pump/well maintenance failure Thursday.
"We apologize for the inconvenience and thank our customers for their patience and helping to support the system’s recovery through water conservation efforts," Aqua said in a statement Sunday.
Approximately 4,000 Aqua New Jersey water customers in Robbinsville, Windsor, and neighboring municipalities were impacted by the Robbinsville well failure.

"The biggest challenge that we’ve had has been a lack of communication,” Mayor Dave Fried said Friday. “Aqua did not notify us about what they were doing regarding its well maintenance, or how they were doing it. That lack of communication has caused us to shut down our schools, along with Amazon - one of the biggest distribution hubs in the world. That creates a domino effect and a number of different challenges for us and our local businesses. "What we find most frustrating is this was a self-inflicted wound. Emergencies such as water main breaks happen. But Aqua decided to do these things as part of their maintenance and did not tell us. They did not work with us, so we had no ability to put contingency plans in place ahead of time. We have those contingencies in place now in the form of mutual aid for fire, but we had to scramble. Fire suppression is a huge concern, and all of these things we’ve had to do on the fly because of Aqua’s lack of communication and lack of planning. We learned about this situation from our residents, not from Aqua, and we find that incredibly disappointing to say the very least."
