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

S 1179 allocates $12 million from New Jersey's General Fund to the Village of Ridgewood for drinking water infrastructure upgrades addressing per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) pollution. This directly affects Ridgewood Water, a public water system serving over 60,000 residents across Ridgewood, Midland Park, Glen Rock, and Wyckoff. The bill provides supplemental funding to cover costs of PFAS-related infrastructure improvements, avoiding the need for the water department to impose significant rate increases on its customers. The funding is added to the state's 2024 annual appropriations act and takes effect immediately.
