Ah, so we can just spend more tax dollars to improve our water pressure once we get the new apartments downtown
And how the hell are we going to add another 500 to 1000 toilets, kitchen sinks, showers, bathroom sinks, etc when we put the projects in downtown? Are we expected to give up our gardens to ensure the developers make a profit?
But the developers have assured us their will be no adverse impact on the Village and I believe them (cough, cough)
Rain has nothing to do with restrictions. Ridgewood uses groundwater . . . . it would take many, years of drought to impact the supply of water available to us.
The reason we have restrictions if because our infrastructure is inadequate to pump all the water we might need in a worst case scenario (ex . everyone is watering their lawns and a huge fire breaks out). Ridgewood doesn’t want inadequate water pressure in and emergency.
We have plenty of water. Every year it has to be re-explained. A few years ago, we almost had a permanent solution to this problem with plans to install bigger water storage tanks that would have been able to maintain full pressure even during heavy usage. The local residents had it voted down because they thought it would hurt their views.
You are so logical my head might explode. Why do we not have one elected official who can put these pieces together???
Who said elected officials were logical or even smart?
they don’t care about water. it’s what is going into the hand.
This makes so much sense. Are you listening BIG AL?
Firefighters reliving their glory days. Great choice to locate the Fire House on a flood plain just to justify having equipment up the hill…. Taxpayers thank you!
Don’t forget, it was projected the town could expect an additional 18,000 visitors each year once the assisted living/garage is built according to the presentation. That’s alot o toilet flushes. Maybe they need to consider water tanks/towers on top of the buildings like they have in NY city, how’s that for spoiling the view.
