BEAR CREEK HEALTH CARE CENTER is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 36 people from groundwater.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2003; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 25 entries between 1982 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
All 25 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, volatile organic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals.
