Northampton Township, PA (October 3, 2025) – In Phase 3 of the Navy PFAS Remediation Project, the Northampton, Bucks County, Municipal Authority (NBCMA), in partnership with the U.S. Navy is taking major steps to expand public water access for additional residents affected by PFAS contamination.
“On behalf of NBCMA, I wish to extend our sincere gratitude to PA State Representative Kristin Marcell, PA State Senator Frank Farry, US Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, and the Northampton Township Board of Supervisors for their steadfast support and assistance in securing the essential funds to expand this effort,” stated Mike Sullivan, Executive Director of NBCMA. Through a new Environmental Services Cooperative Agreement (ESCA) modification, public water service will be extended to homes in Northampton Township currently relying on private wells where PFAS levels exceed Department of Defense interim action levels—three times the federal maximum contaminant limits for PFOA and PFOS. These action levels reflect Pennsylvania’s strict standards: 14 parts per trillion (ppt) for PFOA and 18 ppt for PFOS.
