Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority (NBCUA) is a quasi-autonomous agency operating in the northwest section of Bergen County that is dedicated to environmentally sound processing of wastewater, and returning fresh water to the natural environment. The NBCUA receives sewage and conveys the sewage to its treatment plant in Waldwick. The NBCUA serves approximately 75,000 people in eleven municipalities: Allendale, Franklin Lakes, Ho-Ho-Kus, Mahwah, Midland Park, Ramsey, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River Waldwick, Wyckoff and a small portion of Ridgewood. The Authority is governed by a nine-member board of Commissioners (plus two alternates) serving 5-year staggered terms. Commissioners should reside in one of the eleven municipalities serviced by the Authority. They meet monthly to conduct Authority business.
