Project Overview:

BTMA has retained Stiffler McGraw and Assoc. to begin the design of the final Act 537 project that must be completed under the DEP mandate. This project will bring public water and wastewater service to the areas of Route 220 past the Topsiders, Sunrise Terrace, Sunnybrook Hafer and Cara Heights.

This project has been in the planning and design process since 2014. Final Design is complete, some permits have been issued and some are in the process of being reviewed. The authority does not have a definite date for construction and is planning on applying for available grants to offset the cost of the project. The authority does not currently plan to proceed with the project unless significant grant funding can be secured.
