How does Countryside compare with other water systems in Lehigh County?
By EPA's size categories, Countryside is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lehigh County has 197 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,486 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 292,806 people reported by systems filed under the county. 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 Countryside is roughly in line with that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Pennsylvania has 4,429 active transient non-community water systems, 61% of the state's 7,217 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 6,632 Pennsylvania systems (92%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Countryside?
EPA lists Countryside 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. 148 of the 197 active systems in Lehigh County (75%) are also privately owned.
Does Countryside have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2022. The violations listed here began between December 1979 and April 2022. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 2 required treatment not met, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 3 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.
