The final phase of Ridgewood Water's project to increase water flow to a low-pressure area will begin on Friday, June 27. A concrete vault to house the new booster pumps on Glen Avenue will be installed on Friday between 12:00 am and 10:00 am. For the majority of this time, one lane (eastbound) will be open on Glen Avenue between Upper Boulevard and Oak Street. Both lanes will be closed to traffic between 6:00 am and 8:00 am. Detours will be in place, and police officers will be on site to assist drivers. We appreciate your patience as Ridgewood Water undertakes this important work.
