Stage II Water Restrictions Lifted by Ridgewood Water
September 7, 2012
Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Village Manager Kenneth A. Gabbert announced today that Ridgewood Water Utility Stage II water restrictions, which mandate limitations of outdoor irrigation to alternate odd-even days, are being lifted as of September 7, 2012.
The Stage II water restrictions were mandated July 10, 2012 in order to envoke conservation measures and curtail water usage, keeping average pumping demands at a safe level. The purpose of this initiative was to reasonably limit water usage on a daily basis so as to avoid the high peak usage surges encountered in previous years when irrigation bans were put into effect. The early implementation of the restrictions have proven to be an effective conservation measure while allowing regular watering and maintenance of properties.
