BASA sale supported by township commissioners
BUTLER TWP — With four yes votes and one abstaining, township commissioners Monday passed a support resolution to sell the Butler Area Sewer Authority to Pennsylvania American Water Company.
Pennsylvania American issued a statement when the authority board approved the sale last week, which said overall feedback received from residents, local business owners and other organizations living and operating businesses within Butler city and Butler Township limits has been positive and supportive of the sale.
The sale will now move to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission for approval.
Dave Zarnick, Butler Township commissioners president, said at the meeting Monday that there will likely be no further discussion on the sale, due to the review by the utilities commission.
“It’s got a long PUC process to go,” Zarnick said. “It will be six to nine months.”
