Dear Residents,
Westwood saw significant flooding from the January 9-10 rainstorm. The Borough received 2.66 inches, while further up the Pascack Brook, Pearl River received 3.13 inches.
By 2:00 am the water began rising rapidly, and by 4:30 am there was significant flooding reported on Harding Avenue, Steuben Avenue, Nugent Place, along Broadway, at the Roxbury and 500 Center condominiums, and at Brookside Park. Flooding peaked at approximately 6:00 am, and water began receding thereafter.
Throughout the night the Borough’s OEM Coordinator Darren Blankenbush and Deputy Janet Dunn, along with Westwood Police Department, Public Works personnel, and the Borough’s Westwood Volunteer Fire Department and Westwood Volunteer Ambulance Corps were actively monitoring conditions, providing updates and warnings, and responding to calls for aid. Our heartfelt thanks to these men and women for their diligence and commitment to the residents of Westwood.
Finally in-house, highly accurate, weather watcher – Janet Dunn reports that another storm is expected Friday into Saturday, with rainfall totals predicted to be 1.5-2 inches. We will be monitoring this storm as it approaches.
Ray Arroyo
Westwood Mayor
