Ridgewood Water – Stage II Restrictions
Dear Ridgewood Water Customers:
The hot weather and limited rainfall has led to a big increase in water use for irrigating. At the same time, the rainfall and groundwater status as monitored by NJDEP has recently been downgraded from “near normal” to “moderately dry.” Stage I restrictions have not moderated the water demand enough to maintain reserves for firefighting and other emergencies, so Ridgewood Water is implementing Stage II restrictions. Stage II limits the use of water for irrigation to two days per week. If your street address is an odd number, you may irrigate on Tuesdays and Saturdays only. If your street address is an even number, you may irrigate on Wednesdays and Sundays only. A hand held hose may be used at any time. No irrigation is allowed on Mondays, Thursdays, or Fridays except for a hand held hose.
We appreciate your cooperation in conserving this vital, shared resource.
Time for the Village to advise residents on installing a well of there own, Water was always reached in 10 ft. to 15 ft.
Can the Blog make inquiry the process to drill for one’s own well?
Actually, it’s time for the Village to follow their own rules. Probably a good time to stop watering the track at BF and just stick to the grass.
I’d like to see the condos on Maple Ave fined for illegal watering. Every morning they run those sprinklers.
Rich, i suggest you call the town and complain, this has worked in the past.
I wonder if the council would have had the balls to install the larger storage tank on the west side if that would have helped our problem.
