Providing a
detailed report of how its water measures up to U.S. environmental
Protection Agency (US EPA) standards, Chester Water Authority (CWA) has
released their 2003 Water Quality Report (also known as the Consumer
Confidence Report).
This report provides
information about the Authority and the water that CWA treats and
delivers to its roughly 40,000 customers. As in previous years, CWA is
proud that in 2003 the water it supplied to customers complied with all
requirements established by the US EPA and the Pennsylvania Department
of Environmental Protection (PA DEP).
CWA is a
public water supplier serving southwestern Delaware County, PA and
southern Chester County, PA. Some are direct customers of the Authority
and others are served indirectly, through resale of CWA water by
neighboring utilities.
If customers
haven’t already received a copy of the Water Quality Report, a copy can
be obtained by contacting CWA at 610-876-8181 or 800-793-2323. Copies
are also being sent to libraries and post offices in CWA's service area.
