Capital Improvements
Satellite Well Connection to PFAS Treatment Facilities: RW's contractor is currently installing raw water mains to connect Irving Well in Ridgewood to the Prospect PFAS Treatment Facility, currently under construction and located in Glen Rock. The installation will bring the raw water from this satellite well so that it can be treated prior to entering the distribution system. Connecting satellite wells are an important part of the PFAS Treatment Master Plan. The Prospect Treatment Facility is scheduled to be online by August 2025.
East Ridgewood and West End PFAS Treatment Facilities: Final bid packages for these two PFAS Treatment Facilities are scheduled for delivery and Bid Opening on Friday, May 24th. Once the bids are reviewed with the lowest responsible bidder determined, the next step is to gain NJDEP/IBank* approval to award the contract. Then, the chosen bid package will be presented at Village Council to vote to award the contract to the successful candidate.

The SRF is the pathway that federal appropriations (i.e. our tax dollars) are disseminated to each state. This is the mechanism our federal government uses to invest in our country's infrastructure.
