Updated: June 14, 2026

BCWSA is committed to providing residents with a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water. We have our water tested using certified labs that use advanced procedures. BCWSA water meets State and Federal standards for both appearance and safety. This annual “Consumer Confidence Report,” required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), tells you where your water comes from, what our tests show about it, and other things you should know about drinking water. We are proud to report that the water provided by BCWSA meets or exceeds established water-quality standards.

Our utility has joined the Partnership for Safe Water, a new national initiative to help achieve operational excellence in water treatment. The partnership was developed through cooperation among the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), States, and water supply associations to provide better protection for consumers from microbial contaminants that can cause intestinal illness.

Call us for information or questions about BCWSA and our water quality at 215-343-2538 x 112.

or the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) at www.dep.state.pa.us.

The Water Quality Reports are in Portable Document Format (PDF) requiring Adobe Reader to view them. Most computers should have Adobe Reader installed already. However, if you do not, you may download it for free from the Adobe Acrobat website by clicking here.

Notice for Bristol Borough Customers

Notice for Bristol Borough Customers

With the expiration of the 2022 Bristol Borough acquisition agreement, your account will transition to BCWSA’s current rate structure effective January 1, 2026.

The new rates reflect the rising costs for essential services that most utilities around the country are experiencing and ensure the stability of the utility through the millions of dollars BCWSA has already invested in system improvements.

Since BCWSA acquired Bristol Borough’s sewer system in 2022, more than $2.2 million has been invested by the authority on necessary repairs and maintenance. This includes major upgrades to pipes and wires, new automated monitoring systems that provide real-time data at the treatment facility, new servers, and upgraded security cameras and software. BCWSA also paid an additional $1 million, on top of the sale price, to Bristol Borough when purchasing the sewer system to make necessary repairs to the bridge used to access the plant.

If not for the acquisition, these upgrades would have been the Bristol Borough Sewer Authority’s responsibility and funded through its budget and ratepayers.

In addition, the billing will transition from a quarterly to a monthly cycle. Customers who use about 4,000 gallons a month, which is a typical household of four, could see an increase of $20 per month. Single residents, who typically use about 2,000 gallons a month, will realize a smaller monthly increase.

We are dedicated to delivering excellent service to every customer while advancing efforts to modernize aging systems that will provide lasting benefits to residents and businesses.

Thank you for being a BCWSA customer.

Drought Watch Lifted for Many Counties, Water Conservation Still Encouraged

sysadmin — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 15:31:37 +0000

The Pennsylvania Drought Task Force recently lifted the drought watch for 21 counties, including Bucks and Montgomery counties, which include townships that receive water supplied by BCWSA.

The PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) determines the drought declaration status based on stream flow, groundwater level, precipitation, and soil moisture indicators. DEP makes its drought declarations after assessing the departures from these normal ranges for periods of 3-12 months. The department also factors information it receives from public water suppliers.

While the drought watch has been lifted, BCWSA encourages residents to maintain water conservation such as the following:

Run the dishwasher and washing machine less often and only when full
Water gardens in the cooler evening or morning hours
Water lawns only if necessary
Check for and repair household leaks
Skip the car wash

Ongoing Monitoring & Updates

BCWSA will continue to assess conditions and provide updates as necessary. These voluntary conservation measures may be adjusted in accordance with any restrictions set by the Governor of Pennsylvania, PA DEP, Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, or the Delaware River Basin Commission.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping protect our water supply during this drought period. Together, we can make a difference.
