Fall Hydrant Flushing Begins Today — What to Expect at the Tap
Feasterville Trevose, PA · October 5, 2026
A patch of dawn fog is burning off quickly, leaving behind crisp October air that practically begs for a second cup of coffee. You might spot water authority trucks rolling down your street today as seasonal utility maintenance gets underway across the township.
The Lead
Lower Southampton Township officials have published a formal update and open letter to residents outlining the municipality's contract proposal in ongoing negotiations with its police department. With municipal budget planning kicking off this month, police personnel and operations represent the single largest expenditure within the township's general operating fund.
By releasing the proposed multi-year collective bargaining terms directly to the public, the Board of Supervisors aims to provide transparency on compensation adjustments, health benefit cost-sharing formulas, and staffing commitments before Act 111 binding arbitration concludes. Supervisors noted that the proposed parameters seek to maintain competitive salaries to recruit and retain veteran patrol officers while protecting residential property tax stability. The complete contract offer is available for public inspection on the township portal and at the municipal administration building on Desire Avenue, where supervisors will welcome public comment at their October 14 meeting.
