About this area's water
Did you know
- Phillipsburg's post office went through three names before settling on the current one: Centre (1848), Center (1893), then Phillipsburg (1903).
- The village is home to the small, privately-owned Phillipsburg Airport (originally Myer's Airport, opened 1949), which still houses about 35 aircraft.

EPA compliance record
Lead at the tap: 90th-percentile result 3.1 ppb in 2025 (action level 15 ppb).
