NEW KENSINGTON MUNI AUTH is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 47,800 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 32 entries between 1979 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.
All 32 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 inorganic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and volatile organic chemicals.
