The Washington Township Municipal Authority is an Operating Authority formed by the Washington Township

express purpose to own, operate and finance the water and wastewater facilities and systems of the Township.
The Township is located in South Central Pennsylvania in Franklin County, and wraps around the Borough

wastewater is treated at a 1.85 million gallon per day facility, located on Lyons Road, at the south
end of the Township.
The Washington Township Municipal Authority is comprised of 5 Board members and a staff of 14, including
4 water and 4 wastewater personnel. Together with a solicitor and a professional engineering firm, the
Authority strives to provide its customers and the growing community with the highest quality product
