EASTON SUBURBAN WATER AUTH is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 58,900 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2007; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 2005 and 2006, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2006.
All 10 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules.
