The Upper Hanover Authority was first established by the Township Board of Supervisors as the Upper Hanover Sewer Authority in October of 1971.  After acquisition of the Pennsburg Water Company in July of 1973, the name was changed to The Upper Hanover Authority.  The Authority Board consists of 5 members appointed by the Township Supervisors for 5 year terms.  The responsibilities of the Authority are to ensure sufficient water supply for fire protection as well as ample and safe drinking water to its customers located in Upper Hanover Township , Pennsburg Borough and Hereford Township .

Currently our water sources are provided by way of 4 wells and an interconnection to Red Hill Water Authority which maintains a spring fed reservoir as well as 2 wells.

The Authority also maintains 2 wastewater treatment plants serving industrial and residential customers in Upper Hanover Township .
