Who is the new watering czar? I want to know where to call to report a neighbor’s system that’s watering at illegal times and has done so for years. It has to be anonymous. Is there such a thing?
Water Dept. wants us to approach the neighbor in person. Not gonna happen.
I have suggested a “tip line” before with no result. They’d get a million calls from frustrated neighbors. Last year the schools were watering at the wrong times, it was reported on the blog. They can be fined, too, although they’d pay with our money! But they could get reprimanded.
I’d guess that in 99% of cases, the owners have no idea that there are restrictions (despite the robo-calls, which they either don’t listen to or figure are meant for other people) or don’t think they apply to them…and in addition, have no idea how to reconfigure their sprinkler systems, and won’t pay their suppliers for a house call. People must be told, firmly, that they MUST learn how to reprogram their systems to comply with rules quickly, as they change. Last night’s call had me dashing out to the garage to remove one day–today–from the cycle.
I would give a pass to anyone who was on vacation, until they got home.
Probably just another friend of our ” Breath of Fresh Air ” VM
Until they can give tickets to all customers they should issue only warnings.
Violaters in Glen Rock and other towns should ne be immune.
I did not get a robo call
The watering fines will not offset this lawsuit
Call your tip into 201-670-5500 Ext 214. That’s the code enforcement officer’s phone line.
Thank Roberta for turning neighbor against neighbor. I guess you learned that in the Private Sector. Divide and conquer
Great way to start a new beginning. Dog eat Dog lets Rat on that unfriendly neighbor down the block.Those are the same folks who wake you up when your attic is on fire or watches out for your house when your vacationing or traveling .that Rat line should be pulled
That would be the number for the Village of Ridgewood code enforcement officer who only is authorized to enforce Ridgewood codes.
Rat Line. Goid luck with your own Instant Karma

Very strange town this has become. We reward homeowners for having a nice landscape and keeping their homes looking good. Many homes plant new lawns,scrubs, and flowers every spring requiring frequent watering. We pay high taxes, high utility bills, high maintenance on our homes, with ever increasing prices.
Now some neighbors are looking for more effective ways to report each other. Some very bored or just unhappy souls need a better way to report someone. What a unhappy way to live. A neighbor won’t know if an exception had been granted, or a homeowner has a private well, so perhaps they should just mind their business. I was raised to respect a neighbor, mind my own business, and if I did have a issue take it up directly with the person, never hide behind a phone call Seems a way to destroy a community, when we “report” each other instead of solving the issue together.
We should be pressing the water company to correct the system shortcomings and find a solution to avoid annual restrictions. We should press for more storage tanks, better delivery, and just improvements.
Solve the problem at its source, Ridgewood water
