Treatment & pressure

Water pressure

Not published; no pressure-zone data located.

Water quality & impurities

EPA compliance record

Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 6.8 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).

EPA record: no health-based violations since 2015.

1 violation of any kind logged since 2020, 1 of them paperwork (monitoring, reporting, public notice or consumer report).

Supply stress

Lake Mohawk itself (0.79 sq mi / 507 acres, max depth 23 ft, fed by Middle Run) is a private recreational impoundment, not the water system's actual source -- the Mohawk PWS draws from separate groundwater wells near the lake. No capacity or contamination concerns for those wells were found in any source reviewed this session.
