A study to potentially to develop a new treatment plant for the Cedar Grove and Great Notch Reservoirs is currently between the City of Newark and the Passaic Valley Water Commission.
According to the Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, Jeff Tittel, the cost for building storage tanks may have been as high as $50m, and the cost for constructing a treatment system is not only less than that, but it also protects the water that over 800,000 people drink.
Tittle added that something needs to be done with the water that the reservoirs provide and the treatment system will take less time to build, save people money, and be more cost-effective. People who get water from either the water systems of Newark or the Passaic Valley system are at risk unless the reservoirs are covered or there is secondary treatment of the water.
The New Jersey Sierra Club has said that this plan resulted from a recent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandate. By not draining the water from the reservoirs and then placing it in storage tanks to prevent contamination from the outside elements, which was the original plan, another historic reservoir and the park in which it resides can be maintained.
