What is in the water at 15049
2 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.
HARMAR TWP MUNI AUTH
PWSID PA5020009 · PA · serves 3,200 people
PFAS and lithium
Not sampled for PFAS. EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring covered every system serving more than 3,300 people and only a sample of smaller ones. This system was not in it, so there is no result to show, which is not the same as a result showing nothing.
Health-based violations
No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.
Hardness
Median hardness 77 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 2 stations serving this system across 224 results, 2015-01-28 to 2026-03-26. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.
TOWNSHIP OF SPRINGDALE
PWSID PA5020021 · PA · serves 1,600 people
PFAS and lithium
Not sampled for PFAS. EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring covered every system serving more than 3,300 people and only a sample of smaller ones. This system was not in it, so there is no result to show, which is not the same as a result showing nothing.

It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.
Hardness
No hardness measurement. Hardness is measured at environmental monitoring stations, and none fell inside this system’s service area. That is a gap in where monitoring happens, not a finding about the water.
What this report cannot tell you
Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
