Ridgewood NJ, during the week of May 8th, Ridgewood Water is performing a Fire Hydrant Test at 20 locations throughout the Village of Ridgewood, in cooperation with the Village Fire Department. This test includes a pressure and flow test that could cause a disruption in the normal operations of our distribution system. While unlikely, this test could cause mineral sediment to dislodge and enter our water supply, causing discolored water to flow through faucets and appliances. While discolored water is a nuisance, it does not pose any known adverse health effects.

Paramus NJ, Paramus Police Department units on the scene of a motor vehicle collision in which a fire hydrant was struck on Route 17 southbound in Paramus, just south of Ridgewood Avenue, on Friday, 08/14.

The force of the collision’s impact sheared off the hydrant at its base causing a water leak that closed the right shoulder and right & center travel lanes of the highway for approximately two (2) hours beginning at 3:45 PM. Southbound traffic on Route 17 was backed up for miles as a result, and there was heavy rubbernecking northbound. The center travel lane of the highway was opened shortly after 5:30 PM.
No information about the number vehicles involved in the collision, nor the nature of any injuries, was available from police on the scene. A worker from United Water was observed at the scene attending to the leak.
