Potable Water Supply

Potable Water Supply

The properties located within the Fish Creek wastewater service area and the Country Crossing wastewater service area are generally serviced by public water. Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority (WTWSA) currently purchases water from Aqua Pennsylvania and the North Wales Water Authority through multiple interconnections to service the properties within these service areas. The remaining portions of the township are supplied by individual wells.

Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority currently operates a water distribution system consisting of a ductile iron water main ranging in size from 4 inches to 12 inches in diameter. Aqua Pennsylvania installed a 16-inch-diameter water transmission main in the southern portion of the township to provide Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority with finished potable surface water through a bulk water supply agreement. Subsequently, the North Wales Water Authority installed a 16 inch diameter water transmission main in the northern portion of the township to provide Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority with finished potable surface water through a bulk water supply agreement. These two independent water supplies ensure that the authority’s customers will have a safe and redundant supply of water at all times. The authority maintains various booster stations, storage tanks, interconnections and utility infrastructure throughout the township. The authority once relied on wells as its sole source of water but transitioned to surface water in 1998.

In order to ensure the quality and potability of our treated water, WTWSA monitors for all regulated constituents as required by federal and state laws, in addition to monitoring for unregulated substances, such as radon and microbial pathogens.

We want our customers to be informed about their water quality. If you have any questions about your water quality or the information provided in the Annual Water Quality reports, please contact Dan Ervin, operations manager, at 215-343-3584 during normal business hours (Monday-Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.).

The WTWSA Board of Directors thanks you for the opportunity to provide your family with high-quality water. The authority is proud of the outstanding water and service it provides to its customers by our Pennsylvania state-licensed waterworks operators. Executive Director Lauri Halderson wishes to assure you that the board of directors has taken the necessary steps to guarantee a safe and plentiful water supply for you well into the future. We ask that all our customers help us protect our water sources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children’s future.

Remember, in a drought watch, we should all be seeking to reduce water use by about 5 percent through voluntary conservation measures.

Much of the state is also at high risk for fire danger due to the dry conditions and burning should be done only with extreme caution or avoided altogether.
