A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): PA1460037
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 36,000
Service connections: 12,000
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

POTTSTOWN BOROUGH WATER AUTH is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 36,000 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 57 entries between 1990 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.

Of the 57, 44 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
