About
Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority (LCWSA) was formed in April 1989 through Lycoming County as an independent authority.
Mission Statement
To promote, facilitate, develop, own or administer, and operate the coordinated and cost-effective provision of water and sewer facilities, and to provide services and technical assistance primarily within Lycoming County for the present and future needs of municipalities, Counties, or other providers consistent with official County Comprehensive Plans.
Vision Statement
The goal of the LCWSA is to be recognized and respected as a premier water and sewer operation. LCWSA and its representatives will be regarded as the best and most sought after water and sanitary service providers in Pennsylvania. Achieving this vision will take widespread collaboration and responsible stewardship as we:
• Implement the personnel plan to acquire the appropriate level and attract people with required experience and specialties;
• Plan, maintain, operate and, if necessary, expand the sewage treatment plant with the best available technologies in recognition of fiscal constraints;
• Plan and construct a separate administrative building and other necessary facilities to provide appropriate and safe working environment for employee, customers, and visitors, and to create a professional business environment;
• Evaluate the future status of the Septage Receiving Facility (SRF) as the business climate warrants;
• Emerge as the premier source of professional leadership and technical support in Lycoming County and surrounding areas as appropriate;
• Obtain state of the art equipment, tools and diagnostic technologies in recognition of fiscal constraints and operational needs;
• Update, equip, staff and operate a Certified Laboratory while developing lab services;
• Provide proactive training to personnel as technology evolves and ensure staff is certified for all necessary compliance functions;
• Develop and utilize comprehensive Benchmark tools for periodic evaluations;
• Be financially self-sustaining to develop the financial strength to proactively advance projects;
• Be the “go to” provider of enterprise services that generate flexible revenue streams;
• Develop and operate a mutual aid system for water and sewer services, and establish effective partnerships for appropriate activities;
• Prepare a management succession plan to sustain LCWSA;
• By cultivating the virtues of practical wisdom, sound judgment, moral integrity, ethical leadership, and customer engagement, diminish risk by minimizing the need for legal action.
Water
In April of 2008, LCWSA completed the construction of a public water system to service portions of Muncy Township in the Halls Station/Lycoming Mall area and has since expanded the system to Muncy Creek Township. This public Regional Water System will allow for the development of properties located in the officially designated growth area as defined in the County’s Comprehensive Plan and as further defined in the Montoursville-Muncy Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan. In December 2010, LCWSA acquired the Village Water Company and is making the necessary improvements to addess fire protection and source water needs. LCWSA has plans to interconnect the two water systems and strive to extend public water to Fairfield Road/Choate Circle.
Sewer
LCWSA owns, operates and maintains the Montoursville Regional Sewer System (MRSS). The MRSS provides sanitary sewer service to Montoursville, the portion of Fairfield Township south of Interstate I-180, the area of Muncy and Muncy Creek commonly referred to as Halls Station, and the eastern portion of Loyalsock Township. The MRSS serves approximately 3,000 customers in Montoursville, Fairfield Township, Muncy and Muncy Creek Townships as well as the bulk customer of Loyalsock Township. Additionally, LCWSA partnered with Armstrong Township to provide sewer service to the community along Route 15 neighboring South Williamsport. Sewage treatment is provided by Williamsport Sanitary Authority at the Central Plant while LCWSA owns and operates the sewage collection system. In addition to the wastewater treatment plant, the LCWSA owns and operates a septage receiving facility. This facility is capable of accepting waste from residential and commercial septic tanks and cesspools throughout the area. This facility provides an environmentally safe disposal alternative to those property owners who are not connected to a public sewer system.
Consumer Confidence Reports
LCWSA has sent the Consumer Confidence Reports or CCR’s for the 2010 calendar to its customers. The 2010 CCR for both the Village Water Company and the LCWSA Water system in the Halls Station area can be found on this web page.
LCWSA is a growing authority – serving its municipal partners in their sewer and water needs, promoting economic growth and development and sustaining the environment.
