North Wales Water Authority Work
North Wales Water Authority (NWWA) has hired DSW Services to help them conduct a water main survey and some of their work will take place in parts of Chalfont Borough. Their work will begin on Monday, August 4 at 8:00 AM. The work is expected to continue for at least one month, with the possibility of extending up to three months, depending on conditions in the field. The contractor will be using a black Toyota Tacoma clearly marked with their company name (DSW Services) and phone number on the side of the vehicle. The only areas of Chalfont Borough where this will take place (listed in no particular order) are on Sunset Ave (from Westview Ave to N Main St), behind the properties on Park Avenue from N. Main Street to the Forest Park Water treatment plant (on the treatment plant side of Park Ave only), and then on Bristol Road (from W Butler Avenue to Forrest Drive). For these areas, a NWWA employee in a NWWA truck will accompany DSW Services.

NASA Student Research Program
According to Patch News (Doylestown) the following announcement was made:
“Pennsylvanians should not be alarmed if they spot very low-flying airplanes above urban areas this month, NASA officials warned, as the agency readies to launch the planes as part of a research project.
Through Wednesday, July 2, NASA planes will fly as low as 1,000 feet above power plants, landfills and urban areas in the Philadelphia area and some other Mid-Atlantic cities. The flights are being conducted as part of NASA’s Student Airborne Research Program. The planes will execute specialized maneuvers, such as vertical spirals, circle specific areas, and conduct low-altitude fly-bys along airport runways. NASA students will assists in the operation of the instruments on board the planes to collect atmospheric data that will offer information about air pollutants and greenhouse gas emissions, NASA said.
The planes used are a P-3 Orion and a King Air B200.”
