Residents Question Sewer Authority About Proposed WWTP

At the 14 January 2025 Newtown Sewer Authority public meeting, residents from Middletown and Newtown had several questions regarding the proposed Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP, aka Sewerage Treatment Plant) on Lower Silver Lake Road abutting Middletown. One important question had to do with ACT 537, which currently provides: "The Township’s continued use and expansion of the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority’s (BCWSA) conveyance system that includes the Neshaminy Interceptor for sewage conveyance to the City of Philadelphia’s Northeast Water Pollution Control Facility." This act would have to be modified by BOTH Newtown Township AND Newtown Borough to allow the use of a local sewage treatment plant that would send its effluent to Lake Luxembourg.
