PG&W GARDNER-MILL CREEK is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 58,179 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1993; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1987 and 1993, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1993.

Of the 10, 6 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
