WATER SOURCE INFORMATION: Throughout 2017, MMA purchased finished water from the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC). MAWC's water comes from both the Beaver Run Reservoir and Youghiogheny River. These sources face potential vulnerability from transportation corridor spills, sewage discharges, and runoff from developed/agricultural areas. Beaver Run has additional susceptibility to petroleum releases from nearby storage facilities.

A Resource Water Assessment of MAWC's intake sources was completed in 2002 by PA DEP. Summary reports are available on our website at https://www.monroevillewater.org/sweeney and https://www.monroevillewater.org/yough. Complete reports were distributed to municipalities, water suppliers, planning agencies and PA DEP offices.

1. Where does Monroeville Municipal Authority water come from?
   Monroeville Municipal Authority supplies purchased surface water to Monroeville, Pennsylvania.
2. Does Monroeville Municipal Authority test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, Monroeville 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 Monroeville Municipal Authority?
   Call 412-372-2677 or visit 219 Speelman Lane, , Monroeville, PA 15146, or use the contact options on the utility’s website.
4. Does Monroeville 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 Monroeville 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.
