THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD — The village council has agreed to pay $55,000 to the state to settle litigation over permit violations allegedly committed by Ridgewood Water.

The council had contested the violation, issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, accusing the utility of drawing too much water into one of its wells.

Ridgewood officials had fought the state on the charges for more than two years. Water utility revenues will pay the settlement amount, officials said.
