Where Bucks County's water comes from

Bucks County mixes municipal authorities, private water companies, and many private wells, especially in central and upper Bucks[1].

Key issues

  • PFAS: Doylestown Township Municipal Authority (PFOA up to 14.2 ppt), Newtown Artesian (12.3 ppt), and Pennsylvania American Water's Yardley system (9.7 ppt) all reported PFOA above the 4.0 ppt federal limit that takes effect in 2029 in EPA UCMR 5 sampling[2][3].
  • Private wells aren't regulated in Pennsylvania, so testing is up to the owner[4].
  • Radon in wells: 14% of USGS-sampled Pennsylvania wells exceeded 4,000 pCi/L[5].
