West Brandywine may sell public sewer system West Brandywine supervisors are exploring the possibility of disbanding the township’s municipal authority and selling off its assets. The authority is an independent entity charged with oversight, design, construction and financing of the township’s public sanitary sewer infrastructure. It was established in 1995 and serves about 470 township businesses and homes, including Brandywine Hospital, several Coatesville Area School District schools and the Brandywine YMCA. On Thursday, supervisors’ Chairman Bill Webb said the authority is on the hook for more than $9 million of long term debt, which he said would need to be paid off prior to a sale. Builders of new construction in the township paid for all existing pump stations while the township took on long-term debt for engineering services and pipelines. Source: Daily Local; 2/11/2014
