Bill > A4287

Introduced Session

This bill would appropriate $12 million from the General Fund to the Village of Ridgewood in Bergen County to offset the costs of infrastructure improvements that are needed to mitigate per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) pollution in the drinking water system. The Ridgewood Water Department, also known as Ridgewood Water, is a public community water system that serves over 60,000 residents in Ridgewood, Midland Park, Glen Rock, and Wyckoff. The sponsor's intent in introducing the legislation is to avoid the significant rate increases that Ridgewood Water would otherwise need to impose on its ratepayers in order to fund the PFAS-related infrastructure improvements.
