The proposed Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update is available for inspection by the public for 30 days beginning Wednesday, May 6, 2020 through Thursday, June 4, 2020. This Plan Update provides the planning necessary for new sewage facilities to serve the portion of Lower Southampton Township in the Neshaminy Interceptor Service Area. The alternative selected by the Plan Update is to continue with existing public sanitary system collection, conveyance and treatment for the areas requiring public sewers and to continue to implement the Township’s Infiltration and Inflow Abatement Program in the service area. In addition, the Neshaminy Interceptor is to be upgraded to adequately address the future needs of Lower Southampton Township for a period of ten years.
Written comments on the proposed Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Update will be accepted by the Manager’s office at 1500 Desire Avenue, Feasterville, PA 19053 through June 4, 2020

BCWSA: Shutoffs Suspended Over Next 90 Days
Benjamin Jones, CEO of BCWSA, announced today that none of its customers will face a shutoff of water or sewer services over the next 90 days.
“We want our customers to know that in these trying times they will have the guarantee of clean water and sewer service without interruption,” Jones said. “We are all in this fight together and we will come out of it together.”
The policy covers all customers in Bucks, Chester and Montgomery Counties.
Due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, it is in the best interests of all to continue social distancing and minimize contact with one another until the virus is under control. As the timeline for this is unknown we have decided, in conjunction with Skelly’s that the 2020 LSAA Carnival, scheduled for April 7-11 at Russell Elliott Park, will be cancelled.
While unfortunate, as the carnival is the largest single fundraiser for the LSAA, canceling the event only makes sense. We can not put the carnival volunteers, the local police and fire fighters and the residents of our township in a position of risk regarding possible exposure to the virus.
As concerns our spring sports, decisions regarding cancelation/modification will be based on the actions taken by the Neshaminy School District, the Lower Southampton Township and the leagues under which each sport plays. You will receive more information as soon it becomes available.
Be safe. Be well. Stay at home!
The LSAA Carnival Committee
