MIDLAND PARK, NJ — Ridgewood Water has taken another major step forward in its $150 million PFAS mitigation project, with the delivery of four massive Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) vessels to the Wortendyke PFAS Treatment Facility in Midland Park. These vessels, manufactured by Calgon Carbon Corp., are among the largest available in the industry and mark a milestone in Ridgewood Water’s ongoing effort to ensure safe, clean drinking water.
Facility on Track for 2026 Operation
The Wortendyke facility is scheduled to begin operations by December 2026, playing a critical role in Ridgewood Water’s long-term plan to combat PFAS contamination. By that time, all 12 Ridgewood Water PFAS Treatment Facilities will be operational, ensuring that regulated PFAS compounds will be undetectable in treated water.
Ahead of National Standards
Ridgewood Water continues to lead the nation in PFAS treatment compliance. While the EPA’s new standard requires PFAS levels below 4 parts per trillion by 2031, Ridgewood Water is on track to complete its project five years ahead of schedule.
Commitment to Public Health
The delivery of these new vessels highlights Ridgewood Water’s dedication to providing residents with the highest quality drinking water. With cutting-edge treatment facilities across its system, the utility remains at the forefront of environmental safety and public health.
