Welcome to Lower Saucon Authority

Many large systems struggle to keep their lost water to 30%, while 20% is considered to be a good result. At the Lower Saucon Authority we target 10% every quarter when we measure our lost water.

For the 2nd quarter of 2024, the Lower Saucon Authority kept its system-wide lost water to 3.57%. We “produced” 29.58 million gallons for the quarter, and sold 27.15 million gallons. We also used 1.39 million gallons as part of our annual sytem-wide flushing project. This left a total of approximately 1.03 million gallons lost, for a total of 3.57%. This is an amazing number that we are very happy to achieve!

We are incredibly proud of the job that our crew does to save money for our customers. As a municipal authority, we do not collect or receive taxes – we are completely funded by our rate payers. By limiting the amount of our lost water, we limit the additional expenses that our customers must bear.

Credit should be give to LSA Operations Supervisor Bill Reccek, who actively hunts potential water breaks on a daily basis. Once he locates them, our crew of Jack Daniels, William Reccek and Erik White do a fantastic job repairing those breaks. This crew does a great job taking care of our system, and we are exceptionally proud of them!
