The city of Butler held an open house Wednesday, July 26, to discus what to do with the proceeds generated from the sale of the Butler Area Sewer Authority, if the deal goes through.

If the sale is approved by the Pennsylvania Utility Commission, it will generate approximately $180 million for the City of Butler and Butler Township, which will be split evenly. The meeting provided an opportunity for residents and business owners to talk to council members about how to use of the potential funds.

“We have thoroughly discussed all the things that this money will impact,” said Mayor Robert Dandoy. “We don’t know, maybe we missed something. We want to hear what the residents want.”
