And the way it is structured is the township that started the authority gets the money, even if the authority now has assets in, or is servicing other townships. They should at least change that law so any funds received are split among the serviced area.

Yep this is the fight that's occurring with Chester City trying to claim ownership of Chester Water Authority, despite its board being made up of repressives from Delco and Chester counties, which is where the majority of the CWA customers are.

Hopefully the CWA prevails in its fight and remains a municipal water system. It's one of the oldest and best run water authorities in the Northeast.
