Bids sought (continued from page 3) Ramsey has previously borne the cost of arsenic remediation for its water supply when the EPA decided to update its standards from 50 parts per billion to 10 parts per billion, and then the NJDEP decided to further update the standards to five parts per billion. The borough was compelled to expend over $1.5 million to upgrade facilities to provide water from its wells at this reduced level, and it is now spending over $200,000 a year in operational costs to maintain the arsenic treatment system. “The question exists: what is the next arsenic? Is it radon? Is it pharmaceutical waste? Is it sodium? Is it road salt? The federal EPA and the state DEP are instructed to find impurities in water and mandate that water systems upgrade their facilities, at their own cost, and treat water to an extent that capital costs can be extremely, even unmanageably, high for a limited population,” Botta said. The borough presently purchases water from a private supplier through a bulk purchase agreement, since production from Ramsey’s wells cannot meet the demand of its residents. The NJDEP has recently required the borough to expand its minimum bulk purchases above and beyond what is needed, in order to maintain a state-mandated “firm capacity.” “All of these mandates put added pressure on Ramsey ratepayers and taxpayers,” the mayor added. “We have studied the economics of maintaining the systems, and although we are fully meeting our needs in our present operational budgets at existing rates, we have to look at capital costs in the future as well. These capital costs involve not only replacing infrastructure and replacing and upgrading water and sewer lines, but upgrading the water and sewer systems to maintain the environmental standards that are always changing and are always becoming more stringent. It will be a very costly endeavor in the future. These are uncertain times and there are uncertain numbers that the borough will have to expend in order to maintain these standards. Based upon these considerations, the borough believes it will be wise to see what the market will bear for the potential sale of the water and sewer systems.” The winning bidder must be able to own, operate, and provide public water and public sewer service to the residents of Ramsey in accordance with all state and federal regulations. Components of the bid consist of the sewer and water infrastructure, including the wells, the physical assets, and the licenses and permits that the municipality owns for the water/sewer system.
