THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Efforts to conserve water supplies are paying off, thanks to last week’s imposition of stringent irrigation restrictions and strict enforcement of those limits, village officials say.
Ridgewood’s village manager, Roberta Sonenfeld, said Wednesday that the measures — including having firefighters cut off water service to 15 homes this past weekend — have been working.
On Saturday, use dipped by 1 million gallons systemwide from the August daily average, Sonenfeld said. On Sunday and Tuesday, water usage was down by 2 million gallons. It dropped by nearly 3 million gallons on Labor Day, the village manager said.

I guess pretty soon we will have another rate increase due to lower volumes of water being used
Thats the way it works. Rates never go down.
$1,000.00 Fines issued. Good Job! Keep it up.
I would like to know how much money was received in fines and where it will go.
