Despite a class-action lawsuit pending against Ridgewood Water, the utility may raise its rates by 5 percent next year.
The increase would exceed a 3 percent limit imposed by village codes, and would bring the total rate increase for customers in Ridgewood, Wyckoff, Glen Rock and Midland Park to 31 percent over the past three years.
Information revealed during the proceedings of the lawsuit filed by the Township of Wyckoff on behalf of the other neighboring towns should throw into question the validity of such rate increases, according to Joseph Fiorenzo, a former mayor of Wyckoff and the attorney representing his town, Midland Park and Glen Rock in the case.
