Safe Drinking Water Facilities Information System for Pennsylvania 2018 - Current Environmental Protection
data.pa.gov | Last Updated 24 Oct 2022Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) is EPA’s national database that manages and collects public water system information from states, including reports of drinking water standard violations, reporting and monitoring violations, and other basic information. The data derived in the State of Pennsylvania is published and searchable online on the www.pa.gov website. This set contains the Water System Facility data, which will be updated annually for the prior calendar year in the first Quarter of the following year.
This dataset has the following 32 columns:
