How does Camp Lambec compare with other water systems in Erie County?

By EPA's size categories, Camp Lambec is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Erie County has 134 active public water systems.

Across Pennsylvania, the 7,217 active systems average 1,741 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Camp Lambec is about half of that figure.

Does Camp Lambec have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2017. The violations listed here began between September 2010 and August 2017. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting and 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Surface Water Treatment Rule (7 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
