How does Omas Family Campground compare with other water systems in Lancaster County?
By EPA's size categories, Omas Family Campground is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Lancaster County has 402 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,008 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 405,283 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 Omas Family Campground is about half of that figure.

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 Omas Family Campground?

Does Omas Family Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2021 and November 2025. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 required treatment not met and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrite (4 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
