Aqua PA's Shenango Valley WTP in Sharon, PA draws raw water from the Shenango River, whose flow is regulated by the Shenango River Lake reservoir (near Pymatuning); this system is outside Ohio (serves NW Pennsylvania and reportedly some Ohio border customers), so PWSID prefix is PA not OH.
About this area's water
Did you know
- Hubbard hasn't treated its own drinking water since 1994 — every gallon is bought wholesale and piped in from a plant on the Shenango River in Pennsylvania.
- The 1994 wholesale contract was signed with Consumer's Pennsylvania Water Company; Aqua Pennsylvania only inherited it later, and federal records still list Aqua Ohio - Masury as the seller Hubbard actually buys from.
- Aqua finished a $35 million rebuild of the Shenango Valley plant in 2026, adding a 700,000-gallon raw-water basin — an upgrade Hubbard's customers drink from without owning a foot of it.
- Federal records still carry a treatment plant facility for Hubbard, but the city's own water source has been marked inactive since Halloween 2006.

Treatment & pressure
How it is treated
Hubbard treats none of its own water. Federal SDWIS lists a permanent purchased surface-water connection named 'CC From Aqua PA - Shenango,' whose seller of record is AQUA OHIO - MASURY (PWSID OH7802711); that system is in turn fed from Aqua Pennsylvania's Shenango Valley plant on the Shenango…

Supply stress
Hubbard has no water source of its own — its local source was formally deactivated in 2006 — and depends on a single purchased surface-water connection that runs back across the state line to Aqua Pennsylvania's Shenango River plant, with Aqua Ohio - Masury as the seller of record. That is a two-utility, two-state dependency for every…

Sanitary

A $17 million two-year upgrade began in February…
