Wyckoff — Two mayors having difficulty getting hold of each other has resulted in a stalemate when it comes to solving issues residents are having with their Ridgewood Water bills.
Wyckoff Mayor Kevin Rooney and Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn say they have made attempts to speak to each other and both are expressing frustration about the time between returned phone calls and emails.
The Village of Ridgewood operates Ridgewood Water, a utility that serves Wyckoff, Midland Park, Glen Rock and Ridgewood. Wyckoff residents have been complaining about large bills they have recently received that reflect actual use versus estimated use going back several years.
When one resident complained at a recent Township Committee meeting about the $1,071 “surcharge” bill he received, Rooney told the resident he has tried several times to contact Aronsohn to resolve the issue. He said his attempts prior to the committee meeting were unsuccessful.
“While Aronsohn did not have a direct response to this . . . ”
Aronsohn never seems to have a direct response to any questions. Instead, he tends to ask the questioner a question in an attempt to divert the issue.
The pending lawsuit pitting Midland Park, Wyckoff & Glen Rock against Ridgewood is why Aronsohn won’t talk.
Well then he should say that. Its. that simple.
