How does Black Forest Camping Area compare with other water systems in Lycoming County?
By EPA's size categories, Black Forest Camping Area is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lycoming County has 126 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 702 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 88,482 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Black Forest Camping Area is about half of that figure.

Does Black Forest Camping Area have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2023. The violations listed here began between October 2012 and September 2023. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 monitoring, 1 reporting and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 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.
