HAZLETON CITY AUTH WATER DEPT. is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, formerly serving 4,763 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1992; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1982 and 1991, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1991.
Of the 12, 11 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, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Former Total Trihalomethane Rule.
