Pennsylvania has 1,026 active non-transient non-community water systems, 14% 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 Shady Grove Christian School?

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. 6 of the 37 active systems in Union County (16%) are also under public/private ownership.
Does Shady Grove Christian School have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in August 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2019 and August 2024. By type: 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Arsenic (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
