System type: Community Water System
Population served: 170
Service connections: 67
Ownership: privately owned
Water source: groundwater (wells)

BIG WOODS is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 170 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1996; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 46 entries between 1984 and 1995, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1995.

All 46 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
