BETH 512 SYSTEM is one of 757 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 725 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 14 entries between 1979 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.
All 14 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 inorganic chemicals, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
