TAMAQUA AREA WATER AUTHORITY is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 8,000 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 57 entries between 1976 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 57, 39 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
