Ridgewood NJ, despite two postponements the day of the day of reckoning may be upon Ridgewood Water with the class action lawsuit trial between Glen Rock , Midland Park and Wyckoff customers and Ridgewood Water .
According to the Glen Rock Gazette Glen Rock Mayor Bruce Packer said that the proceeding is scheduled to commence Monday, June 27, and continue on June 28 and 30, and on July 6, 7, 11, 12, 22 and 29.
The case has finally reached the trial docket after failed attempts earlier this year to achieve a mediated settlement between the water utility and its customers in Glen Rock, Midland Park and Wyckoff.
The class action suit, was brought by the three municipalities on behalf of residents, and alleges some $3.3 million in overcharges by the company, and that the Village of Ridgewood NJ improperly commingled water company revenues to other areas of its municipal budget.
According to plaintiffs’ attorney Joseph Fiorenzo of Wyckoff, the towns are seeking a return of the amount officials believe their residents were overcharged – Glen Rock, $1,049,165; Midland Park, $619,635; and Wyckoff, $1,640,492.
It’s time for Ridgewood water to pay the piper. It’s Bs that ridgewood water uses monies collected from the other towns to pay their bills not having to do with water. Who thinks of this crap? Goes back to poor management.
