SOUTHWESTERN CAMBRIA CNTY AUTH Water System
Consumer Confidence Report status
SOUTHWESTERN CAMBRIA CNTY AUTH must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.
As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 1 item for SOUTHWESTERN CAMBRIA CNTY AUTH that is open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.
Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Pennsylvania’s official records. Always confirm current status with Pennsylvania before making decisions based on this information.

SOUTHWESTERN CAMBRIA CNTY AUTH is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 4,400 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 38 entries between 1992 and 2026, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 38, 31 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
