BETHESDA HOME FOR CHILDREN is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 120 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2004; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 18 entries between 1988 and 2003, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2003.
