The water service is the one pipe a homeowner rarely thinks about until pressure drops across the whole house at once or a wet patch appears in the yard that never dries. In this area the runs are long on the spread-out lots in the Northern Valley and short in the denser boroughs, which changes the cost of the job considerably. Most towns here are served by Veolia; Ridgewood and Park Ridge run their own systems.
