Public Notification Update

The authority needs your contact information in case of an emergency. Please read on for more information

The Safe Drinking Water Act requires that the Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority (WTWSA) notify our customers in the event of emergencies related to your water service. Until just recently, we have been required to communicate through radio stations and signs posted in affected areas. Now, in addition to these communication measures, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requirements include more direct and personal communication with customers in the event of an emergency.

In order to meet this new requirement, WTWSA is implementing a mass communication system and asking you to provide us with your most current contact information. Completing and returning the form below will allow us to better communicate information about your service area, from temporary suspension of service for construction, repair, emergencies and routine flushing of hydrants.

WTWSA will only contact you with information regarding your water and sewer issues. In the event of an emergency, you will receive a recorded message at the phone number that you supply using the form below. In addition, WTWSA will send a written message to any e-mail address that you supply.

We respect your right to privacy and your information will be kept strictly confidential for WTWSA use only.

Please provide the information requested below either by fax to 215-491-9170, e-mail to ewillard@wtwsa.org or return the form to our office.

The Warwick Township Water & Sewer Authority would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation.

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.
