Ridgewood NJ, on Saturday we reported that Ridgewood residents have once again received another notice that their drinking water system contains higher levels of a family of chemicals that have been linked to cancer and other health problems. Ridgewood Water exceeds state levels of a class of chemicals called PFAS and PFOAS.
