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.

Does Shawnee Mountain Ski Area have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2024. The violations listed here began between December 1980 and April 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 2 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 required treatment not met.

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.
