OUR WATER'S WORTH IT AWARD TO RIDGEWOOD WATER

At 1 p.m. on Thursday, July 18 at the Ridgewood Water Pollution Control Facility, 561 Prospect Street, Glen Rock, Bergen County, Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette will present the first Our Water's Worth It trophy to Ridgewood Water for its efforts to conserve water and address PFAS contamination. The public water utility provides water service to approximately 61,000 consumers in four Bergen County municipalities.

Commissioner LaTourette will provide remarks alongside representatives from the Village of Ridgewood, Ridgewood Water and Sustainable Jersey. The award ceremony will take place at one of Ridgewood Water's 12 PFAS treatment facilities currently under construction.

Our Water's Worth It launched earlier this year to emphasize the importance of protecting our water supplies. The award program acknowledges water systems, both public and private, that set a good example by going above and beyond to protect water resources, and improve drinking water quality, service and reliability for the residents they serve.

On-site parking is available.
