>Water Restrictions : Why Every Year?
How come my parents, in neighboring Pennsylvania, have almost never had water rationing in the 45 years that they have owned their home, and yet I have had it about every other year that I have owned my home in Ridgewood.
Why is our water utility so inadequate? Insufficient groundwater supply? Insufficient tank capacity? Insufficient pumping capacity? Leaky water mains and pipes? I have never heard a good explanation regarding the weaknesses in our system.
I realize that some years we have droughts and that reservoirs get low, but we seem to have this happen more years than not. Do other municipalities in NJ have as many mandatory water rationing periods as we do?
