Customers of the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority in the following area May Be At Increased Risk From Microbial Contamination:
FIRST STREET BETWEEN WALNUT STREET AND MAYNARD STREET
We routinely monitor the conditions in the distribution system. On November 25, 2022, we experienced a loss of positive water pressure due to a main break that affected your water service. A loss of positive water pressure is a signal of the existence of conditions that could allow contamination to enter the distribution system through back-flow by back-pressure or back-siphonage. As a result, there is an increased chance that the water may contain disease-causing organisms.

About the Authorities
The Williamsport Water Company was first organized in 1856. The company changed ownership many times. In 1864, it became the Lycoming Gas and Water Company and in 1879 it became the Citizens’ Gas and Water Company. Control was passed to the Williamsport Water Company in 1884. In 1927, the company was sold to Community Water Service Company of New York City. During the Great Depression in 1934, the Chemical National Bank and Trust company became the owner. In 1945, John H. Ware, Jr acquired control over the former Williamsport Water Company by purchasing the common stock from the Chemical National Bank and Trust Company.
In June 1946, the Williamsport Municipal Water Authority was incorporated under the Pennsylvania Municipality Authorities Act and the company was operated by the Municipal Management Company. On September 30, 1967, the Municipal Management Company relinquished its agreement to manage the Authority, and since then, the water facilities have been continuously operated by local management and personnel. The Williamsport Municipal Water Authority receives guidance from an appointed, all volunteer, ten-member Board.
The Williamsport Municipal Water Authority Water Treatment Plant was officially commissioned on September 9, 1992. The total cost of the project including engineering, inspection, and financing was $25 million dollars. The plant is designed to filter and treat the surface water supplies for the Greater Williamsport Area, serving a population of over 51,000 residents in the City of Williamsport, the Borough of South Williamsport, the Borough of DuBoistown, Loyalsock Township, Old Lycoming Township, and Armstrong Township.
An Authority owned watershed of 10,000 acres is the home to a 12.5 million gallon per day water treatment plant. Water is collected primarily by two 530 million gallon impoundment reservoirs while a 9 unit wellfield provides reserve inventory. Despite the large capacity, average daily water provision amounts to 4.7 million gallons per day. The water is conveyed through 230 miles of lines. Typical replacement costs for a mile of water line average $1 to $1.2 million dollars per mile.
