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 Oil Creek State Park?

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. 4 of the 63 active systems in Venango County (6.3%) are also owned by a state government.
Does Oil Creek State Park have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in March 2023. The violations listed here began between July 2012 and March 2023. By type: 5 monitoring, 4 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 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.
