Authority Celebrates 62 Years With Rededication Of Warrington Office

WARRINGTON, PA — The Bucks County Water & Sewer Authority (BCWSA) celebrated 62 years of service in the region on Wednesday with the re-dedication of its Warrington Township headquarters.

At the ceremony, which took place following the regularly scheduled board of directors meeting, Chairman John Cordisco joined Bucks County Commissioners Chair Diane Ellis Marseglia, Vice Chair Robert J. Harvie Jr. and Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo in unveiling a plaque to mark the occasion.

“Not only do we provide essential services daily for 525,000 people in southeastern Pennsylvania,” said Chairman Cordisco, “but we also work with the county and individual communities to allow them to adapt to their changing environments, helping Bucks to realize growth and new economic opportunities.”

Incorporated in 1962, BCWSA was established by the commissioners upon the recommendation of a commission tasked with determining the best way for the county to assist local municipalities in developing water and sewage facilities.

In the intervening decades, the authority acquired several municipal systems to become one of the largest sewer and water systems in Pennsylvania. BCWSA’s services and infrastructure have enabled Bucks County to roughly double in population to more than 600,000 people and provide for significant economic expansion and job growth.

BCWSA serves existing institutions and industries including hospitals, schools, manufacturing, technology – and all sectors in between – that are the lifeblood of the region. The authority continually invests in its infrastructure to support new opportunities and the growth of communities it serves.

“We are fulfilling a mission in our region,” said Benjamin Jones, CEO of BCWSA, “We are excited to have recently embarked on a major investment campaign that will allow BCWSA to continue to serve the county and its communities for another 62 years.”

BCWSA is investing $155 million in the lines, treatment plants and other infrastructure as part of the first phase of the planned improvements.
