William Mowell Indicted – Former Chief Engineer of Ridgewood Water – Laid Off in 2010

Top officials of East Orange Water Commission allegedly hid chemical in drinking water

TRENTON — Two top officials of the East Orange Water Commission have been indicted for allegedly conspiring to hide elevated levels of an industrial solvent in drinking water pumped to tens of thousands of residents in the city and neighboring South Orange, state authorities said today.

The executive director, Harry Mansmann, 58, of Lawrenceville, and the assistant executive director, William Mowell, 51, of Wyckoff, falsified levels of tetrachlorethene to show the water supply was meeting state safe drinking water standards, the state Attorney General’s Office said in a news release.

  1. I fully expect the Village of Ridgewood will conduct a thorough investigation to determine if Mr. Mowell was involved in any similar incidents while in the employ of Ridgewood Water.

  2. you know ridgewood needs a lot of money. they should sell to the highest bid. it must be worth a goood 20,mill. or so.

  3. Oh god I hope the insurance premium is paid because if there is any monkey buisness goin on in our town the settlement will be astronomical. I hope the village employees 457’s are not attachable.

  4. would any one know what ridgewood water is worth.
    and for will he know’s his shit.

  5. you awesome he is guilty. he is not. I know these men personally, they are ethical individuals and have no personal gains to manipulate the readings. The State has incorrectly charging these two individuals. Unfortunately with no expertise they are charging these men and destroying honest hardworking men’s lives. By the way the water quality of Orange has improved and without falsified readings
