Dear Nattering nabobs of negativism,
Although Stage 2 watering restrictions will continue to be in effect, Ridgewood Water will begin to consider waivers beginning on September 6th.
The following guidelines are the basis for granting individual exceptions to restrictions on outdoor water use:
- New trees, shrubs, and perennials – Waivers may be granted, but will be limited to use of soaker hoses or drip irrigation on Tuesday,Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday only. No automatic irrigation will be allowed for this purpose.
- New lawns (sod or seed) – Waivers may be granted for automatic irrigation on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday only.
Applications are available on the Ridgewood Water website atwater.ridgewoodnj.net. Your completed application and documentation may be submitted in the following ways:
- Email to domeilanuk@ridgewoodnj.net
- Mail or drop off copy to:
Village Hall
131 N. Maple Ave.
Fifth Floor
Ridgewood, NJ 07450
Waivers cannot be guaranteed and are subject to cancellation if conditions worsen. Residents are still urged to postpone landscape installations when weather conditions are unfavorable.
Thank you for your support and cooperation. By working together we have been successful in avoiding more stringent restrictions this year.
Have a great Labor Day weekend,
Roberta Sonenfeld
Village Manager
