• The Delaware River in Bucks County Is Cleaner Than It Was. Here's What Changed (vista.today) — If you live in Yardley, the Delaware River supplying much of Bucks County's drinking water is significantly cleaner than in past generations, especially along the protected, non-tidal stretch that includes Washington Crossing and Yardley down to Morrisville.
