The previously approved spending plan created for emergency repairs at Ridgewood’s water pollution control plant has ballooned to nearly $24,000 – rising almost $9,000 above the costs that were estimated in January. The increasing price tag as well as discrepancies in vendor invoicing have drawn recent criticism from members of the Village Council as well as local taxpayers.
Top public works officials said a backup generator at the facility had been damaged and failed to start during a widespread power outage on New Year’s Eve. As a result, personnel manually diverted the incoming water flow to a primary clarifier, where it was held.
According to plant officials, power was restored moments before the untreated sewage would have been released into the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook.
