About Lancaster Area Sewer Authority
The Lancaster Area Sewer Authority was formed over 50 years ago in March of 1965. The original six incorporating municipalities included the Townships of Manor, East Hempfield, West Hempfield, and Lancaster, and the Boroughs of Mountville and East Petersburg. The collection system includes more than 620 miles of lines and 44 pumping stations. The Washington Boro treatment facility was re-rated in 1994 to allow an average daily flow of 12.0 MGD. A third settling basin was added in 1999 to increase hydraulic capacity to its present permitted capacity of 15.0 MGD. LASA’s service area presently serves nine municipalities, and serves a population equivalent of over 125,000, including about 1,400 businesses. The Authority bills nearly 40,000 users directly. The Lancaster Area Sewer Authority is among the ten largest sewage authorities in the Commonwealth, and operates the second largest treatment facility in Lancaster County.
