The Morrisville Municipal Authority serves customers in Morrisville Borough and Yardley Borough along with portions of Falls Township and Lower Makefield Township.
Ecoremedy began operations with the Morrisville Municipal Authority in 2019. The facility turns biosolids and other waste organics into syngas, a entirely renewable source of thermal energy that replaces natural gas. The wastewater treatment plant expected to save money by using the Ecoremedy system.
