SALE OF PUBLIC SEWERAGE SYSTEM
In December 2017, the East Bradford Township Board of Supervisors approved an Asset Purchase Agreement with Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. for the sale of the pubic sewerage system. After closing, Aqua will assume responsibility for the public sewer mains located within sewer easements and streets (not private lines to individual houses/units), the sewer pump stations, and sewer billing and collections. The Township and Aqua obtained approval from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission this past spring and closing is scheduled on December 12, 2018.
