The BTMA was created by Township Ordinance and organized under the Municipal Authorities Act of 1945 to provide public water service to Brighton Township. The BTMA began water supply operations to a portion of Brighton Township on December 1, 1952. At that time the population of the Township was approximately 3,100 and only 191 customers were served by the water system. The existing system now serves approximately 3,070 connections and provides service to seventy-three percent (73%) of the Township’s population of approximately 8,800 residents.
