About ESWA

Easton Suburban Water Authority was incorporated in 1957 by the City of Easton to provide high-quality water to the municipalities surrounding the city. In January 2007, the Authority entered into a 25-year Lease Agreement with the City of Easton to assume the management and operational responsibilities, as well as all capital improvement initiatives, for the water system, including the Water Treatment Plant. In conjunction with this Lease Agreement, the Authority now provides water service to customers within the City of Easton also.

Today, with over 50 employees, the Authority serves more than 34,300customers in a service area that includes the City of Easton, the Townships of Palmer, Forks, Bethlehem, Williams and Lower Nazareth, and the Boroughs of Wilson, West Easton and Glendon. About 32,150 customers are residential, 1,780 are commercial, 123 are industrial and 323 are institutional. The Authority has the ability to produce 12 million gallons of water per day at the Water Treatment Plant, which draws water from the Delaware River.

At ESWA, our primary mission is to provide quality water and service to customers at a reasonable rate.
