HCA FERN ST is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 30 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2013; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1994 and 2006, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2006.

Of the 12, 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 the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
