UPDATE ON BOIL WATER ADVISORY 4/6/17 8:30am
From Ridgewood water
Ridgewood NJ, On Wednesday, April 5th, Ridgewood released a public notification and boil water advisory to customers in Glen Rock and portions of the Ridgewood and Wyckoff. Copy of the full notice is available on the Ridgewood Water and Village of Ridgewood websites. The groundwater source where the detection was made is in Ridgewood and was disinfected before distribution into the system. As a precaution, the NJDEP requires public notification to the entire low pressure zone of our system. This zone includes all of Glen Rock, the portion of Ridgewood south of Monte Vista Avenue and east of the rail line, and the portion of Wyckoff in the area of Goffle Road, Hopper Avenue, Ravine Court and Ravine Avenue.
Ridgewood apologizes for this inconvenience. Fortunately the detection was in the raw water, prior to treatment and release into the system. The drinking water warning and boil advisory is an excess of caution. There is no E-coli outbreak. We hope to lift the advisory by Friday of this week.
Many customers are asking why we notified them a day after the sample was collected. The lab collected the sample on Tuesday and reported the results to us on Wednesday. Upon receiving their notification, Ridgewood proceeded with initiating the public notice. This included consulting with the NJDEP and EPA on the form of the notice.
Please share this information with neighbors, friends and anyone that doesn’t have access to the internet.
