# PA American Water and Towamencin Township to terminate wastewater system sale

## Summary
- Process to terminate Asset Purchase Agreement for Towamencin wastewater system; no penalty expected.
- Termination due to new PUC criteria (July 2, 2024) making original deal structure unlikely to meet approval.
- Formal approval expected at Towamencin Board meeting Sept 11, 2024; PUC approval ~30 days after filing.
- PAW will still seek PUC approval for acquisition of Elizabeth Borough Municipal Authority next month.
