Upper Saddle River NJ, Bergen residents express serious concerns over brown water that’s originating from nearby development construction site.
According to CBS News ,”Some Bergen County residents say they a water emergency on their hands.”
Pristine streams in Upper Saddle River have turned brown, due to development nearby. It’s a problem CBS2 told you about last year and it has gotten worse, Lisa Rozner reported Thursday.
Ducks and turtles were recently seen swimming through mucky streams. Some residents call it an environmental disaster right outside their window. In 2017, kids played here, but not anymore.
