    Pennsylvania Annual Drinking Water Compliance Report
    The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires states produce an annual report on public water system compliance.

The level of compliance and efforts being undertaken to provide safe drinking water to the residents and travelers of Pennsylvania are also highlighted in the report.
