- Mission Statement
The Doylestown Borough Water Department is committed to delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality drinking water to our community. We strive to protect public health, support environmental sustainability, and maintain the highest standards of service through innovation, transparency, and efficient operations. Guided by a deep sense of responsibility, we aim to meet the current and future needs of residents and businesses within our community.
- Safety Reminder- Utility Worker Imposter Awareness
Water Department staff spends a significant amount of time working on water meter reading equipment, which is typically found on the outside of a resident’s home. It is not unusual to see a water department employee walking around a neighborhood or down a street, checking equipment on the side of businesses and homes. It is important to remember that all Doylestown Borough Water Department staff drive in clearly marked official Borough vehicles, wear official uniforms, and carry proper identification. We will never ask for access into a residence without proper advanced notification. If you suspect someone is posing as a Water department employee or just want to verify that we are working on your street or neighborhood, please call the water department at 215-345-4140.
- Billing Link with existing statement.
Put your water account number in the memo of your check so it is posted to the correct account.
Note: Water account numbers are property specific – if you move to another Borough property the number will change. Putting the old number on the check will cause it to be applied to your former property even if it is not yours anymore.
- Water Quality Reports- Use existing tab & information for water quality reports already posted on website
- PFAS Learning Center- Using existing web-site information, just needs to be condensed down into a new tab.
