NORRISTOWN STATE HOSPITAL is one of 757 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 2,000 people from groundwater.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1994; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 1976 and 1988, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1988.
All 19 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 inorganic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
