IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM RIDGEWOOD WATER 10/6

Ridgewood Water has received a number of inquiries about chlorine in the water supply. Equipment that feeds chlorine as the water leaves the
Twinny Treatment Facility pumped a higher amount than usual resulting in concentrations as high as 5 parts per million where 4 parts per million
is the maximum allowed by regulation.

The Twinny Facility was shut down when the problem was found early this morning. Crews have been flushing  the system in areas surrounding this site to reduce these concentrations to the normal level.

Although this impacts only a portion of Ridgewood residents, we are notifying all Ridgewood residents. It is anticipated that the system
will be back to normal by 5 pm today. Please flush your pipes by running your faucets and flushing your toilets. Further
updates will be posted to the Ridgewood Water website at water.ridgewoodnj.net.
