The City of Atlantic City is under a BOIL WATER ADVISORY for at least the next couple of days. Please boil your water before using.
Further instruction can be found here ➡
Just bc snow stopped doesn't mean you should be on roads! Here's why:
👉 Crews still working. They're also starting to salt to prevent what's on ground from freezing.
👉 More vehicles on road = less room to work.
👉 Wind formed snow drifts, some of which are several feet deep.
