Residents living on and near Valley View Avenue came out in force to last night’s Village Council meeting, objecting loudly to Ridgewood Water’s plans for removing several mature trees and other foliage to facilitate construction of a 100 foot wide water tank near their homes. The proposed new tank would replace two smaller tanks which, according to Ridgewood Water representatives, are in danger of collapsing due to their age.
Mayor David T. Pfund advised gathered residents that neither he nor his fellow Council members had been provided with any details on the proposed project by Ridgewood Water Director Frank Moritz. It was agreed that such a project review would be scheduled for Wednesday evening, January 23. Further dialog between Council members and the public will take place following the scheduled executive briefing by Moritz.
