Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Berwick tap water safe to drink?

PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Berwick, PFOA 7.9 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing; the lead 90th-percentile result was 0.9 µg/L against the 15 µg/L action level. PA AMERICAN WATER BERWICK (PWSID PA4190013) has a Purity Score of 57/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.

Who provides tap water in Berwick?

PA AMERICAN WATER BERWICK (PWS ID PA4190013) is the public water system on record for Berwick, Pennsylvania, serving about 15,282 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.

Where does Berwick get its drinking water?

Groundwater (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).

Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Berwick's water?

Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2024-01-11 to 2024-07-09), PFOA was measured at 7.9 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFBS (4 ng/L, below the 2,000 ng/L EPA health advisory), PFHxA (8.4 ng/L, below the 400,000 ng/L state limit) and PFOS (4 ng/L, below the 4 ng/L federal limit) were also detected. PFBA (5.2 ng/L), PFHpA (4.5 ng/L) and PFPeA (11.5 ng/L) were also detected; they have no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.

Is there lead in Berwick's tap water?

PA AMERICAN WATER BERWICK's most recent lead 90th-percentile result (2025) was 0.9 µg/L, below the 15 µg/L action level. That figure comes from sampled homes; lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so only a test at your tap tells you what you drink.

What does the latest Berwick water report show?

PurityMap's current record for Berwick holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 4 detected within the reference, 3 detected with no limit and 23 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
