Dear nattering nabobs of negativism,
Recently you received in the mail our Consumer Confidence Report. We would like to have an opportunity to explain this report to you as well as to answer any of your questions regarding Ridgewood Water.
We have scheduled two forums – Wednesday July 27 at 9:00 A.M. in the Courtroom at Village Hall and Tuesday, August 2 at 7:00 P.M. in the Youth Center at Village Hall. We have sent mailers to each household announcing these forums but I thought that it would also be fitting to send an e-notice.
Space is limited so please register by contacting Donna Omelianuk at 201-670-5500 ext 271 or by email at domelianuk@ridgewoodnj.net.
I would also like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update on our collective water conservation efforts. In terms of usage, we have seen a significant drop on days we are not allowed to water to about 10 million gallons. Just for your information, water usage in months where we are not watering our lawns averages about 5 million gallons; this dramatically increases to about 15 million gallons per day in lawn watering season. If we can continue to keep this usage lower, we should be able to sustain Stage 2 for the remainder of the season unless we have continual hot/dry weather or a mechanical failure.
I want to thank each of you who have taken this seriously. We continue on heightened enforcement but I am really happy to see so many of our friends and neighbors doing their part for our community.
Best,
Roberta Sonenfeld
Village Manager

P.S. There is a heat advisory in effect for today from noon to 7 P.M. with the heat index reaching 100 degrees. The forecast is for hot weather to continue throughout the weekend. Please look out for yourself and your neighbors. Please make sure your vehicles are locked so that children cannot climb in on their own. Please note that Bergen County has opened cooling centers with the closest being at NW Bergen Senior Center at 46 Center Street Midland Park (201-445-5690). Also remember that our library is available seven days per week (201-670-5600).
You would think the queen bee would address the people that pay her a bit better.
A1 Sewer & Drain your local nj plumber
She knows her time is limited. They are letting her fumble around for 3-6 months, should be entertaining followed by her lawsuit. against RGWD. If town needs money to pay for new root cutting sidewalk equipment then go after the real sidewalk offenders and not the 1/4 inch to 1/2 properties. Town could make a fortune on all the illegal sprinklers from 11- 5 am…you need to get out off your vehicles to catch these backyard waterers…Council is great now but they lead old town values who need a kick in the behind. the truth will set you free
Who is checking the other towns for violations?
yeah in the laws take a ride and see who,s laws are nice and green. go look and u will see.
