Highlights of the 10 March 2026 NBCJMA Board Meeting
Wednesday, 11 March, 2026
Thus "Deep Dive" podcast reviews highlights of a meeting of the Newtown, Bucks County, Joint Municipal Authority held on March 10, 2026. During the session, resident John Mack inquired about the status of a decommissioned land parcel, suggesting it be donated as protected open space rather than sold to developers. The board clarified that recent utility rate hikes were partially tied to the original loan for this property and noted they are seeking court permission for a sale. Additional discussions covered infrastructure updates, including pump station upgrades and sewer replacements at Penns Commons. The authority also addressed operational challenges such as equipment maintenance, rising insurance premiums, and the impact of non-flushable materials on the system.
