Have your rates gone up? A resident emailed me indicating his quarterly sewer bill rose by 20%.  

I note that the agenda for the Dec 2022 meeting included under Old Business: "Rate Increase BCW&SA & Approval of Amended Budget 2022-2023". I heard that the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority (BCSWA) may be raising rates to cover a bond to make infrastructure improvements (see https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/2022/12/20/bucks-county-water-and-sewer-authority-to-issue-a-bonds-for-repairs/69739737007/).

On the Agenda: "Historic" farmhouse on Toll Bros site
