How does Hemlock Haven compare with other water systems in Pike County?
By EPA's size categories, Hemlock Haven is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Pike County has 208 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 391 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 81,402 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 Hemlock Haven is about half of that figure.
