A Brief History of the Red Lion Municipal Authority
The early settlers of Red Lion Borough realized that a prerequisite to the Borough's development was the availability of an abundant water supply. On May 16, 1893, the citizens moved in a cooperative venture to form the Red Lion Water Company.
On January 20, 1959, the Red Lion Municipal Authority was incorporated, pursuant to a request by Red Lion Borough officials, and on November 2, 1959, the water lines, property and facilities were conveyed to the Authority at a purchase price of $1,200,000 through means of a bond issue.
