Aqua Pennsylvania sources its water from surface water from the Crum, Pickering, Brandywine, Perkiomen, Neshaminy, Ridley and Chester creeks, Schuylkill and Delaware rivers, the Upper Merion Quarry and the Shenango River in western Pennsylvania, and groundwater from more than 100 deep wells provide water for Aqua Pennsylvania.

Chloramines are a commonly used disinfectant in drinking water. They're used in many water systems across the U.S., including some of Aqua Pennsylvania’s systems. Chloramines have been used for more than 90 years and are completely safe. Learn more about our use of chloramines.

Chromium is a naturally occurring element and can be found in untreated water. All of Aqua's water is within the EPA's limits for this contaminant. Learn more about what chromium is and what Aqua is doing to reduce this metal in water.

Lead is a naturally occurring metal that can cause a variety of adverse health effects. Lead exposure through drinking water is primarily a result of the corrosion of lead pipes and plumbing materials. The Pennsylvania General Assembly determined it is in the public interest for water utilities to assist customers in the replacement of customer-owned lead service lines throughout Pennsylvania. Under the Customer Lead Service Line Replacement Program, Aqua will replace both the company and the customer-owned portion of the service line at no direct cost to the customer.

More on the Aqua PA Lead Service Line Replacement Program, as well as details on community meetings, can be found within the Lead Service Line Replacement section of the Lead page. Please click the link below to learn more.

Two contaminants — Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), known as a part of the PFAS family of chemicals — have been found in drinking water supplies across the country and around the world.

In May 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency replaced its 2009 provisional health advisories for PFAS with new, lifetime health advisories, setting a health advisory level of 70-parts per trillion (PPT) for both contaminants. This lower limit is of particular interest in those areas of eastern Montgomery County and Bucks County, where groundwater contamination from PFAS is believed to originate from nearby military bases.

Since the health advisory limit was announced in 2016, Aqua has taken proactive measures to ensure that water provided outperforms the EPA’s 70 PPT health advisory, including investing heavily in equipment for regular in-house analysis; installing granular activated carbon (GAC) filters on two systems with the highest level of PFAS; conducting engineering evaluations of the Neshaminy water treatment plant and evaluating impacts of the Air National Guard’s treatment system on levels in the creek; and continually assessing alternative treatment options, including ion exchange resins and other technologies.
