Is BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.

When is BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.

BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH Water System

Consumer Confidence Report status

BEAR VALLEY JOINT 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 BEAR VALLEY JOINT 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.

System facts

System ID (PWSID): PA7280043
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 12,589
Service connections: 4,237
Ownership: local government
Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH is one of 175 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 12,589 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 106 entries between 1989 and 2025, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.

Of the 106, 99 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and inorganic chemicals.

Common questions

Is BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?: Yes. BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.
When is BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?: BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.
Does BEAR VALLEY JOINT AUTH have any open drinking water violations on record?: As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 1 item for BEAR VALLEY JOINT 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.
What is a Consumer Confidence Report?: A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
