Ridgewood homeowners have followed the PFAS story closely. AquaThin North Jersey, ten minutes away in Wyckoff, installs reverse osmosis and whole-house systems that take control of your water at the tap. Free in-home water test.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
Ridgewood Water is a village-owned groundwater utility drawing from the Brunswick aquifer and serving about 61,000 residents in Ridgewood, Glen Rock, Midland Park and Wyckoff. Its first PFAS treatment facilities, Carr and Twinney, came online in 2019 and 2022, and the utility is building out a network of a dozen plants at a cost of more than $100 million.
Progress is real but not finished. In the second quarter of 2026 the utility reported 18 monitoring points above New Jersey’s 14 ppt PFOA limit, with running averages as high as 36 ppt, and four points above the 13 ppt PFOS limit. The federal standard is 4 ppt. Several plants are still under construction and one has slipped to 2027, and a PFAS surcharge appears on every quarterly bill.
A multi-stage Aquathin reverse osmosis system at the kitchen sink removes PFAS, lead, nitrates and dissolved solids no matter which wells are feeding your street on a given day. For the whole house, a softener handles the hardness that comes with well water and a carbon filter takes out chlorine taste and odor. We test first and recommend based on your results.
Designed around your plumbing and daily routine.
Many Ridgewood houses date from the early 1900s through the 1950s, with finished basements, tight utility rooms and original plumbing. Ridgewood Water lists about 1,900 known lead service lines and nearly 700 of unknown material, so our licensed plumber inspects your service line and pressure as part of the visit and plans bypass loops, drains and shut-offs so the system can be serviced without disruption.
We are a family-owned Wyckoff company, not a national franchise. Filter changes, membranes, softener salt and repairs come from our shop on Calvin Court, and the plumber who installed your system is the one who services it.
Call (201) 208-7807. We will test hardness, chlorine, TDS and pH at your tap, walk you through the current Ridgewood Water PFAS notices, and tell you honestly whether you need a system and which one.
