AQUA PA BENSALEM is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 59,001 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1990 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.
All 11 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
