PAWC HILLSIDE FILTER PLANT is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 17,269 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2000; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1987 and 1992, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1992.
All 4 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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
