WINDBER AREA AUTH is one of 298 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 9,463 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 52 entries between 1982 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 52, 49 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
