Ridgewood NJ, Starting Sunday evening, October 20, 2019, at 9:00pm, Ridgewood Water (RW) will perform hydrant flushing in the systems of all four municipalities served by the utility. This is an essential part of our system maintenance program because it helps us to continue to provide you with high-quality water service. In order to cleanse the system, we have to systematically open the fire hydrants to increase water flows.
This allows us to “flush” any minerals and deposits from the pipes that may have accumulated. While flushing the system will not interrupt your water service, when crews are working in your area, you may notice a temporary drop in water pressure or discolored water. This is normal. If this happens, simply let your water run until it is clear. There are no health concerns associated with the minerals that get stirred up, but residents are urged to avoid doing laundry while crews are working. Ridgewood Water will notify registered residents using the Swift Reach Reverse 911 calling. Residents may register to receive these calls by clicking on the SwiftH2O link at the bottom of the Ridgewood Water website homepage at water.ridgewoodnj.net.
