Jim Schaffner, a forensic accountant with Schaffner, Knight, & Minnaugh, was hired to review the finances of Erie Water Works. This is a part of Millcreek Township Water Authority doing their due diligence to determine if Erie Water Works is a suitable financial partner for a long term relationship such as the proposed lease. This was one of several concerns expressed by the Millcreek Township Water Authority Board in their lease Position Paper. 

On March 24, 2010, Mr. Schaffner presented his report to the Millcreek Township Water Authority Board of Directors and Millcreek Township Supervisors at the regular scheduled Water Authority meeting. Members of the public were invited to attend.
