MEADOW VALLEY ESTATES is one of 3,064 community water systems in Pennsylvania in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 92 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2003; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1982 and 1993, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1993.
