Park Ridge council adopts $235,000 ordinance to repair Booster 3 water tank
Summary
The borough council adopted Ordinance 2026-008 to appropriate $235,000 from the water-utility capital fund for repairs to Booster 3 tank after a public hearing and unanimous roll-call vote; a resident/councilor described a visible leak near Mill Pond and urged prompt repairs.
Park Ridge City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 2026-008, approving a $235,000 amendment to the water-utility capital budget to repair the Booster 3 tank.
The mayor opened the public hearing on the ordinance and asked for public comment before a motion to adopt. The borough CFO described the request as an amendment adding $235,000 to an earlier appropriation tied to repairs of the booster. A speaker identified during the meeting as Council member Mike Mintz said residents have noticed “a little leak at the bottom” near Mill Pond and urged quick repairs: “What we’re trying to do is get that patched up and fixed before the busy season.”
After brief discussion, a councilor moved to close the hearing and adopt the ordinance; the motion was seconded and passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The clerk read the ordinance title as an amendment to Ordinance 2025-011 to appropriate $235,000 from the water-utility capital fund balance for repairs to Booster 3. The council directed that notice of final passage be published in the Bergen Record.
The adoption funds repairs the borough described as necessary to maintain reliable water service ahead of peak demand. The ordinance record and publication will provide final details on timing and contractor selection.
