Important Information for Ridgewood Water Customers
Lead Service Line Replacement Program
Proudly Serving Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Midland Park & Wyckoff
As your neighborhood real estate specialists, we’re sharing key details about Ridgewood Water’s voluntary Lead Service Line Replacement Program. The program lets homeowners “opt in” for a cost-effective replacement of lead or galvanized service lines.
While participation is voluntary under NJDEP rules, beginning in 2026 a Village of Ridgewood ordinance will require replacement upon sale or transfer. Ridgewood Water must work toward full replacement by 2031 and demonstrate annual outreach progress.
Program Highlights
Who:
Homeowners in Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Midland Park & Wyckoff with service lines identified as lead, galvanized, or unknown.
What:
A voluntary program supporting New Jersey’s mandate to remove all lead/galvanized service lines by 2031.
When:
Contract 1 (2025–2026): First 500 sign-ups; work begins Summer 2025.
Contract 2 (2026–2027): Sign-ups open now; approx. 500 replacements expected each year.
Note: Homes on streets scheduled for paving may be advanced to Contract 1 to avoid reopening roads.
Cost:
Contract 1: $2,800 homeowner portion with one-time payment or ~1% APR financing.
Contract 2: Pricing TBD (summer 2026) but expected to remain well below private contractor rates.
