In light of recent cybersecurity attacks targeting water infrastructure in New Jersey, Mayor Misciagna and the Borough Council joined Congressman Josh Gottheimer and Senator Holly Schepisi in reinforcing the importance of protecting our community’s water systems and critical infrastructure.

We want our residents to know that Park Ridge Water continues to actively monitor and protect the technology systems that support our water infrastructure. At this time, there are no known credible cybersecurity threats, successful intrusions, or indications that the Park Ridge Water system has been compromised.

Our systems are protected by multiple layers of security, and the Borough continues to strengthen these safeguards in accordance with guidance and advisories from the NJCCIC, NJBPU, CISA, FBI, and other government agencies.

Park Ridge remains vigilant. We are taking the appropriate precautions, continuously monitoring our systems, and strengthening our cybersecurity measures to ensure our water infrastructure remains secure, protected, and resilient.

Our residents’ safety and the reliability of our water supply remain our top priorities. We will continue to stay proactive, prepared, and informed.

Important Update: Modified Lawn Watering Restrictions

The Park Ridge Board of Public Utilities is easing the current outdoor watering restrictions following continued improvements in water system conditions. Over the past couple weeks, cooler temperatures, rainfall, and the community's conservation efforts have allowed our water storage tanks to return to normal operating levels. Based on recommendations from our consulting engineers, a limited outdoor watering schedule can now resume while continuing to protect the reliability of our water system.
