Latrobe Municipal Authority Water Company

The Latrobe Municipal Authority regularly monitors contaminant levels in your water as required by federal and state regulations. The table at the bottom of this report displays our most recent monitoring results. State regulations permit us to monitor certain contaminants less frequently than once per year since their concentrations typically remain stable. Some of our data, while representative, may be more than one year old.

All water sources can potentially contain contaminants, whether naturally occurring or human-made. These may include microbes, organic or inorganic chemicals, or radioactive elements. Even bottled water reasonably contains at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk. The Environmental Protection Agency has established strict safety standards for these substances to protect public health.

For additional information about contaminants and potential health effects, please contact the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.

1. Where does Latrobe Municipal Authority water come from?
   Latrobe Municipal Authority supplies surface water to Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
2. Does Latrobe Municipal Authority test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, Latrobe Municipal Authority must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website.
3. How do I contact Latrobe Municipal Authority?
   Call 724-537-3378 or visit 104 Guerrier Road, Latrobepa, PA 15650, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does Latrobe Municipal Authority water contain lead?
   Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records.
5. Is Latrobe Municipal Authority water hard?
   Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
