At the Northampton Bucks County Municipal Authority (NBCMA), we are proud that our only focus is on delivering the highest quality water & wastewater services at the lowest possible cost to the residents of Northampton Township. Our revenues are used to operate, maintain, and improve our infrastructure today and into the future while meeting or exceeding all regulatory requirements.

Because we are a “public” entity, we answer to you. Unlike “private investor-owned utilities” we do not have shareholders. Investor-owned utilities, by their very nature, have as their core mission the generation of maximum profits for their investors and stakeholders. 

As your local publicly held Authority, our mission is to do the “right thing for our community”. Such values are integral to our DNA.
