Ridgewood repairs artificial turf fields after costly flooding

THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD — Thousands of dollars are being spent this week to repair the village’s turf fields, which were damaged late last week when heavy rain caused flash flooding.

The artificial turf field at the village’s Maple Park suffered $48,000 in damage, Ridgewood officials said at a council meeting this week.

Workers began cleaning silt and dirt from the turf surface at Ridgewood High School on Thursday; some resultant wrinkles in the field will also be removed.

Flood damage will also be repaired at nearby Stevens Field, which is also owned by the school district.

Earlier this week, Ridgewood school officials allocated an emergency expenditure of $119,865 for the work.

It is expected the school fields will be usable within two weeks, when the school’s soccer and football teams are set to start practices.
