UPDATE
to the BOIL WATER ALERT
EFFECTIVE: Saturday, March 27, 2010, 7:00 pm, and until further notice
Residents and Businesses of Glen Rock, Ridgewood, isolated portions of Midland Park (see description at the bottom of this notice) and isolated portions of Wyckoff (see description at the bottom of this notice) are being notified to CONTINUE TO adhere to the boil water alert as a result of a loss of water pressure in a portion of the water system on Friday, March 26th.
Samples were taken at numerous locations throughout the potentially affected portion of the system on Friday. Analysis of these samples takes 24 hours to fully provide results. Some of the results show indications of potential concern and are prompting Ridgewood Water and State Officials to continue the Boil Water Alert as a safe guard to public health and safety. We are collecting additional samples to mitigate our concerns.
It is anticipated that we will have results of this second round of samples late in the day on Sunday and be able to provide another update before 10 pm.
In the meantime, the Boil Water Alert remains in effect.
Many people have had the following questions/concerns:
Can dishes be washed in a dishwasher? Yes, and as a safeguard, rinse them with bottled or boiled water.
Bathing, showering, and clothes washing can continue as normal.
Notice was given by Reverse 911. It is understood that many people did not get the message directly and we will be reviewing the system to understand the situation and rectify any issues.
When conditions are acceptable, the Boil Water Alert will be rescinded. Expect a Reverse 911 call or check the Village Web-site for details after 9:00 pm, Sunday.
We appreciate your understanding and patience with this situation and apologize for its
inconveniences.
