Ridgewood NJ, The Urgent $117 Million Mission to Erase PFAS . Ridgewood Water, a utility serving over 61,000 customers across Ridgewood, Wyckoff, Midland Park, and Glen Rock, is currently engaged in one of the most ambitious and costly water clean-up efforts in New Jersey history. The utility is building a total of 12 new treatment facilities—a system characterized by its director as “likely one of the largest in the state”—specifically designed to filter out PFAS, the notorious “forever chemicals,” from its well supply.
The total estimated cost for the 12 projects is a staggering $98 million to $117 million, with completion expected by March 2027.
