FALL FLUSHING NOTICE

The Bradford City Water Authority will be flushing blowoffs throughout the water system daily commencing on Monday, October 5, 2026, at 7:00am. Consumers are cautioned that the water quality will be temporarily disturbed during this period. Please check our website and Facebook page for any changes or updates.

               

 

Transition From Bi-Monthly to Monthly Billing Starting in 2027

The Bradford City Water Authority and Bradford Sanitary Authority will be transitioning from bi-monthly billing to monthly billing beginning in 2027.

 

We believe monthly billing will provide several benefits to our customers. Smaller, more frequent bills may make it easier to manage household expenses and avoid a larger bill over a two-month period. Monthly billing will also provide customers with more frequent information about their water usage and account balance, allowing you to monitor your usage and identify potential changes or leaks sooner.

 

Convenient Billing Options

 

As we transition to monthly billing, we would like to remind customers that the Authority offers Auto-Pay and E-Billing options.

 

Auto-Pay allows your payment to be automatically deducted from your checking account, helping you avoid missed or late payments and eliminate the need to submit a payment each month.

 

E-Billing allows you to receive your bill electronically rather than receiving a paper bill by mail. This provides a convenient way to receive your bill while reducing paper waste.

Bradford City Water Authority

Watershed and Reservoirs

The Bradford City Water Authority has three (3) surface water reservoirs that serve the Bradford Water System. The Marilla and Gilbert Reservoirs are open to public use. Recreational activities such as trail walking/hiking, canoeing/kayaking, and fishing are permitted at our Marilla Reservoir and similar activities exist at our Gilbert Reservoir, with the exception of fishing, which is currently catch-and-release only until the population and fish size are appropriate. (Fires, camping, swimming, littering, ATV’s and any unauthorized vehicles are prohibited throughout the watershed and all reservoirs). 

However, the Heffner Reservoir on West Corydon Street is the primary water source and has always been restricted to public use for the safety of both the reservoir and the public. This includes no fishing. We want to remind everyone that the immediate property at and around the Water Treatment Plant and Heffner Reservoir is posted NO TRESPASSING.

Please observe these rules for your safety and the safety of our primary drinking water source.

For more information please stop by our offices at 28 Kennedy Street.

Thank You,
Bradford City Water Authority Board of Directors
