Plumbing on Broad Avenue, Bergen Boulevard and Route 46
Palisades Park is a dense borough of about 1.25 square miles, with 7,668 housing units. Broad Avenue is the central business district, with Korean restaurants and retail, and Bergen Boulevard also has many Korean businesses. US Route 46 runs through the borough. Busy kitchens and shared building drains mean grease and shared lines are routine issues for our commercial customers.
If you run a restaurant or shop, our commercial plumbing page covers grease traps, backflow and after-hours calls.
Hard water and what it does to your plumbing
Palisades Park is on Veolia Water New Jersey's Hackensack system. The 2025 water quality report lists hardness at up to 210 ppm as calcium carbonate, which is very hard. Hard water builds scale in water heaters, faucets and shower heads, so flushing a tank and replacing worn fixtures helps. If you suspect scale is shortening a heater's life, see water heater repair.
We do not test water or make health claims. For quality questions, contact Veolia customer service.
After the July 2022 boil water advisory
In July 2022, E. coli was found in the Veolia system, and a boil water advisory covered seven towns, including Palisades Park. It was linked to a water main break in Ridgefield and lifted on July 24. Residents were told to run faucets for three to five minutes and clean automatic ice makers.
If a similar advisory ever happens, follow the utility's instructions first. Afterward, flushing taps and cleaning ice makers are practical steps, and a plumber can check anything that seems off, such as a pressure change or discolored water.
Permits and licensed work in the borough
Permit rules vary, so ask the Palisades Park Building Department. The borough uses the number of fixtures and appliances to set plumbing permit fees. For emergency repairs, a permit must be obtained within 72 hours. Plumbing inspections run Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and final inspections are required.
In NJ, plumbing work is limited to licensed master plumbers, authorized plumbing contractors and their W-2 employees. Ask for the license number, check it with the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, and look for it on vehicles and invoices.
