Getting to know Paterson
The Great Falls of the Passaic powered Paterson's growth as a planned industrial city. Paterson became known as Silk City, with silk manufacturing at its peak in the 1890s. The Passaic Valley Water Commission was created in 1927 to run the water system for Paterson, Passaic and Clifton.
Construction permits are issued by the city's construction code office at 111 Broadway. New Jersey requires lead service lines to be replaced statewide. Two- and three-family houses are common in older neighborhoods.
Heavy rains can push the Passaic River over its banks in low-lying areas. Freezing nights in winter can crack exposed pipes and outdoor spigots.
