Buckingham Township Public Notice

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on February 25th, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., at the Township Building, York Road and Route 413 (4613 Hughesian Drive), Buckingham, Pennsylvania, the Board of Supervisors of Buckingham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, will act on an ordinance (of which this notice is the summary) authorizing the issuance of and awarding not in excess of $865,853.00, principal amount, guaranteed revenue note, at a private sale. If enacted, the ordinance will award the Note to the purchaser thereof, approve the substantial form thereof, fix the rate of interest to be paid, pledge project revenues and the full faith and credit of the local government unit for the payment thereof, create a sinking fund and authorize the proper officers to take the necessary steps to issue the Note. The funds to be obtained from the borrowing will be used for the following purpose:

Recent testing has determined wells CS-3 and CS-4, which feed the Cold Spring Water System, have PFOA/PFOS levels that exceed the new federal standards. The installation of a carbon filtration system was determined to be the most cost-effective treatment system to reduce to levels below the federal standards. It was also determined that an air stripper will be required to reduce the radon levels in the water which impact the carbon disposal. The radon levels (1100 pi/c), while not excessive, would cause a higher level of radioactive carbon for disposal which could cause higher disposal or reconditioning costs for the carbon. The Hearthstone Treatment Facility will be upgraded to facilitate the required treatment. 
The list of items to be constructed include:
1) New Building to house carbon filters, air stripper, transfer pumps, and associated equipment. This will include piping from the Arsenic removal building to the PFAS Building and piping from the PFAS Building to the existing storage tank, located on site.
2) Backwash holding tank to receive the backwash from the filters then slowly release it to the facilities pump station (this includes meter valve, controls, and piping from the PFAS building to the pump station).
3) Site work includes sidewalk to new building and a stormwater infiltration pit.
4) Supervisory control and data acquisition ("SCADA") controls to tie the PFAS system into the main control system. 

A copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance and exhibits may be examined: (i) on the Buckingham Township Website: http://www.buckinghampa.org and (ii) during regular business hours at the Township Building without charge, York Road and Route 413 (4613 Hughesian Drive), Buckingham, Pennsylvania, or copies may there be obtained for the cost of preparation.
