How does Riversedge compare with other water systems in Northampton County?
By EPA's size categories, Riversedge is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Northampton County has 199 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,680 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 334,310 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Pennsylvania, the 7,217 active systems average 1,741 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Riversedge is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Pennsylvania has 1,762 active community water systems, 24% 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 Riversedge?
EPA lists Riversedge 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. 145 of the 199 active systems in Northampton County (73%) are also privately owned.
Does Riversedge have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2024. The violations listed here began between March 2016 and September 2024. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 required treatment not met, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Groundwater Rule (5 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.
