Makes supplemental appropriation of $12 million to Village of Ridgewood for drinking water infrastructure improvements related to per- and poly-fluoralkyl substance pollution.

This bill appropriates $12 million from the General Fund to the Village of Ridgewood in Bergen County for drinking water infrastructure improvements addressing PFAS pollution. It directly affects Ridgewood Water, the public water system serving over 60,000 residents across Ridgewood, Midland Park, Glen Rock, and Wyckoff. The funding is a supplemental appropriation to offset costs of PFAS-related infrastructure upgrades, preventing the need for significant rate increases on residents. The bill takes immediate effect and is tied to the 2024 fiscal year appropriations.
