Reader asks Where will the Water Come from for the hundreds of new families’ in the CBD

high density housing Ridgewood

No-one seems to want to answer the questions put forth in many prior blogs.
1. Where is the water going to come from to supply the needs of all these new residences? I realize they don’t water but hundreds of new families’ personal uses would probably end up to close to the amount of water the lawns consume. They will also have to have some beautification of lawns and trees which will also require watering.
2. Will residents of other areas using Ridgewood Water also be required to limit outdoor water usage as we do? There has been no such agreement in place up to now. Will we be able to hire summer employees (the old crossing guards?) to drive around Ridgewood in the dawn hours and write down all addresses of lawns being sprinkled in violation of the rules? We all know this goes on!

  1. I am seeing great questions and comments about the slums being built in our downtown, both on this blog, and on Facebook pages.

    But, the problem is that Aronson and Pucciarelli sealed the deal in the waning days of the Aronson Reich. We are cursed with what they left us. So, its great to raise these issues. But more importantly, as you see Aronson and his cronies start to try and take center stage in town again, you need to speak up and respectfully tell them to put a lid on it. We don’t need them tarnishing the town any further than they have done already.

  2. FACTS… I HATE FACTS!

  3. 8:34 I like your comment, but what exactly is a fact? At the current time it seems to be whatever you say when you want someone else to believe you–a la Trumpisms.

  4. “…what exactly is a fact?”
    That comment tells me all I need to know about you.

  5. Some of the water will come from sues like it does now and some will come from Harthorn .

  6. From a Ridgewood Water newsletter- “From October through April the average water demand for RW customers is about 8 million gallons per day (MGD), but from May through September the demand could rise to almost 27MGD, with an average of about 13MGD. This excess water usage is primarily due to lawn irrigation” These building will not have much in the way of lawns so the impact should be minimal. Additionally this issue was probably addressed when sewer capacity was looked at in relation to these projects.
