Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Water reports that the Ridggewood water system violated drinking water standards in 2011 and once again 2012 .
Through these are not emergencies Ridgewood claims to be taken the corrective measures necessary to remedy the situation .
Ridgewood water is required to monitor drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis, but during the 2011 and 2012 time period the Water company claims to have inadvertently been in non compliance with monitoring certain contaminants making the water quality assurances inaccurate .
Ridgewood water claims to have monitored Nitrates in all 51 active wells but 1 . Nitrates in drinking water above 10ppm pose health risk in infants of less than 6 moths old and high nitrate levels can cause “blue baby syndrome”.
Bids should be taken to manage this system. Perhaps United Water is interested. They’re now managing Allendale’s system.
Most water companies have been in non-compliance at one time or another .
