               RIDGEWOOD WATER 
     DRINKING WATER INFORMATION

Ridgewood Water found elevated levels of lead in drinking water in some homes/buildings in our community.  Lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and children 6 years and younger.

Drinking water is one possible sourse of lead exposure.  The main sources of exposure are lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust or soil.

To reduce your exposure to lead in your water:  (1) Run the cold water for 15-30 seconds to flush out lead, (2) Use only cold water for consumptive purposes, and (3) Do not boil water to remove lead.

For more information call Ridgewood Water at 201-670-5520 or visit our website at http://water.ridgewoodnj.net

     DO YOU LOCK YOUR VEHICLE AT NIGHT?

The Glen Rock Police Department advises residents to lock their cars when left unattended in their driveway - especially overnight, and in any public parking lot.  The Borough has experienced periodic reports of thefts from unlocked cars at the pool, in school and commuter parking lots, and in private driveways.  Neighboring communities have also been experiencing similar reports.  Unlocked cars represent an easy target for anyone intent on stealing wallets, money, CD's, cellular phone's, GPS navigation aids, lap top computers, tools, and other property of value.
