About the Sale
Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority (BCWSA), which provides sewer service for most Springfield Township residents, has announced that Aqua Pennsylvania has made a formal offer to purchase the BCWSA wastewater (i.e. sewer) system.
A final decision on the sale has NOT been made by BCWSA and Authority officials plan to host a series of public meetings to gauge public sentiment about the potential sale. BCWSA has created a dedicated website (BCWSAcommitment.org) for members of the public to learn more about the offer and to provide public input. Residents can also sign up with BCWSA to receive updates as BCWSA moves forward in analyzing the purchase offer.

BCWSA is a separate and independent operating entity from Springfield Township. Springfield Township residents who would like to provide input should contact BCWSA at the BCWSAcommitment.org website and consider attending the public meetings that BCWSA plans to hold to solicit public sentiment on the potential sale.
