ALTOONA CITY AUTH. WATER DEPT. is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, formerly serving 4,500 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1991; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries between 1982 and 1991, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1991.

The record involves inorganic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
