Water Quality Snapshot: TILDEN INDUSTRIAL PARK

TILDEN INDUSTRIAL PARK is a local-owned non-transient non-community water system that delivers drinking water to 4,000 residents in HAMBURG, Pennsylvania (Berks County) through 51 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 38 total violations for this system , of which 10 (26%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 28 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2021.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Lead and Copper Rule, recorded in 11 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 3 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 12.2 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. TILDEN INDUSTRIAL PARK's 38 violations sit below 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.
