DICKSON CITY WATER COMPANY is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 140 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1991; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries between 1981 and 1989, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1989.
