Here we go again — the watering police watcher out in force even when it’s raining for a week.
Not about the reserves…about the ability to distribute the water…but don’t worry we can handle hundreds of new residents using water. Grr…
In order to satisfy the Developers and Big Al the Developers Friends these tenements will be built but there will be rationing of drinking water for all Ridgewood residents. All for progress and a few who will sell their house to move into a 2 bedroom “Loft” next to the tracks. Go ahead Ridgewood vote these same people in again!

The golf course is in Paramus.
I’d like to see the rules enforced
Anyone with a sprinkler system that doesn’t have a rain gauge because it was grandfathered a few years ago should ask their irrigation service to install one. They are small and hooked up to the sprinkler box “brains.” No big deal and prevents wasting water (which is no longer either cheap or in infinite supply) just after a rain. When the water in the gauge dries out, the system resumes. Simple, basic, a no-brainer, and required for all newly installed systems, but not old ones. Should be.
