WATKINS AREA WATER AUTHORITY is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 200 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2016; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1993 and 2005, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2005.

Of the 10, 8 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
