PA GAS & WATER COMPANY is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 22,212 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1987; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries between 1982 and 1984, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1984.
All 8 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 and synthetic organic chemicals.
