EAGLE LAKE COMMUNITY ASSOC serves 3,500 people in GOULDSBORO, Pennsylvania using Groundwater water sources. It has 1,090 recorded EPA violations, including 41 health-based violations. PFAS "forever chemicals" were detected in UCMR5 testing (6 compounds found).

Water Quality Snapshot: EAGLE LAKE COMMUNITY ASSOC

EAGLE LAKE COMMUNITY ASSOC is a private-owned non-transient non-community water system that delivers drinking water to 3,500 residents in GOULDSBORO, Pennsylvania (Lackawanna County) through 2,862 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 1,090 total violations for this system , of which 41 (4%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 1,000 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2025.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is E. COLI, recorded in 54 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 6 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 12 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Pennsylvania, EPA tracks 7,701 public water systems serving 12,630,061 people, with 1,159,868 cumulative violations and 68,517 health-based violations on record. About 97% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 150.6 violations. EAGLE LAKE COMMUNITY ASSOC's 1,090 violations sit above the Pennsylvania average. Statewide, 224 of 389 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (57.6%). All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
