Ridgewood Nj, while reviewing Ridgewood Council meeting minutes, several questions have surfaced regarding the Ridgewood Water (RW) soil removal contracts, particularly related to the handling of contaminated soil.
Ridgewood NJ, representatives of the environmental testing company hired by the Village of Ridgewood informed Village Council members during Wednesday night’s Work Session where the contaminated soil dumped at Schedler came from.

Ridgewood NJ, Northjersey.com has reported that .,”Ridgewood Water says its water supply is safe after catching a contractor dumping contaminated soil on its Wyckoff property.”
Northjersey goes to state in the article that , “A utility employee saw a local contractor on Aug. 20 dumping between four and six loads of soil at the Ames wellfield. According to a statement by Ridgewood Water, the Wyckoff Police Department was immediately notified and is investigating. At the same time, the Ames well was shut down as a precaution.” Interesting when the Ridgewood blog checked the Wyckoff Police blotter , there was no mention of the incident on that or any other date and when we went to the Ridgewood Water website it was off line on September 27th in the evening .We do know how that feels but it seemed an odd coincidence .
