What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. North Carolina has 2,031 active community water systems, 40% of the state's 5,087 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 3 North Carolina systems (less than 0.1%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Harshbarger MHP?
EPA lists Harshbarger MHP as privately owned. The PA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 6 of the 6 active systems in Beaver County (100%) are also privately owned.
Does Harshbarger MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 9 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between August 2024 and April 2026. By type: 9 required treatment not met, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved, 4 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
