DID YOU KNOW? NWWA IS HOME TO ONE OF THE LARGEST WATER TANKS IN THE COUNTRY! 🇺🇸

North Wales Water Authority operates the General Hancock Water Tower in Montgomery Township, which holds an incredible 4.1 million gallons of water! That’s enough water to fill more than six Olympic-sized swimming pools! 💦

This impressive piece of infrastructure helps strengthen water system reliability, supports peak water demands, and provides an important reserve for fire protection. It's just one example of how NWWA continues to invest in the infrastructure our communities depend on every day.

As we celebrate 75 years of service, we're proud of the people, planning, and infrastructure working behind the scenes to keep water flowing for our customers!

The largest US water towers by capacity, led by a 4.1-million-gallon Pennsylvania tank and 4-million-gallon towers in Iowa and Arkansas, were built for outages.

UPDATE: This annual initiative is now complete! We'll be starting our annual Main System Flushing in May 2027.

Hydrant Flushing Program starts 10/14 in Warrington Township!

NWWA regularly flushes fire hydrants throughout our service area as part of our ongoing water system maintenance. This important work helps maintain water quality, remove sediment from water mains, and ensure hydrants are operating properly.

Want to see where flushing is happening? Visit our website to learn more about the program and view the interactive map showing completed, current, and upcoming flushing areas.

Distribution mains (pipes) convey water to homes, businesses, and hydrants in your neighborhood. The water entering distribution mains is of very high quality

đźš§ A BIG thank you to our crews! đź’§

Yesterday, a large water main break occurred on Sumneytown Pike in Upper Gwynedd Township, resulting in a road closure and some disruption for those who travel through the area.

While we know road closures and water emergencies can be an inconvenience, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible work of our NWWA crews who responded quickly and worked tirelessly for more than 18 hours to make the necessary repairs and restore water service.

We’re incredibly proud of the dedication and commitment our employees show, especially during long, challenging emergencies like this one.

Thank you to our crews for keeping our customers’ water flowing, and thank you to our customers and the community for your patience while we worked to get the road and water service back to normal. 💙💧

Happy National Intern Day! 🎉💧🌿

Today, our Water & Wastewater Internship Program (WWIP) interns spent the day giving back to the community by volunteering at Peace Valley Nature Center. Together, they removed invasive plant species and cleared weeds to help protect and restore the local environment.

This project is especially meaningful to us because Lake Galena, located within Peace Valley Park, serves as a reservoir for the drinking water treated at our Forest Park Water Treatment Plant. By helping care for this watershed, our interns are making a positive impact on the very source of the water we provide to our community every day!

The heat doesn’t stop NWWA from keeping the water flowing.

Early this morning crews responded to a water main break and worked quickly to complete the repair before the hottest part of the day. Their hard work helped minimize disruptions and restore normal service!

A big thank you to our field crew for braving the extreme temperatures to keep safe, reliable water service flowing for our community!
