Drinking Water

This site provides educational resources on proper management of private water systems including wells, springs and cisterns.

There are over one million private water systems in Pennsylvania and 20,000 new wells are drilled each year in the state. There are no statewide regulations for private water systems - management is entirely voluntary.
