Northampton to advertise wastewater ordinance

Dated: March 18 2026

Northampton Township's board of supervisors has unanimously voted to advertise an ordinance establishing uniform wastewater requirements for properties connected to the Warminster Township Municipal Authority sewer system. The rules will help the township to comply with the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s National Pre-Treatment Program under the Clean Water Act. While most of the township's wastewater is routed to Philadelphia for treatment, roughly 400 residences and businesses in the township's northwest corner and along parts of Bristol Road in Ivyland feed into the Warminster system, requiring a separate local compliance structure. Supervisor Joe Lombardo explained that federal law obligates municipalities to regulate local contributors to publicly owned treatment works, and that without such an ordinance the authority would lack the enforcement backing needed to ensure users meet pretreatment standards. The vote to advertise does not immediately enact the ordinance but kicks off the formal adoption process.
