MENDHAM, NJ — A mandatory boil water advisory issued by the Southeast Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (SMCMUA) has been lifted for Mendham residents.

The advisory was issued on Wednesday night, after a water main break in the area of Tingley Road caused a sinkhole in the roadway that required overnight repairs.
