Pa-american Water Co-connellsv Water Company

The Connellsville system acquires its water from two primary sources: the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC) and the North Fayette County Municipal Authority (NFCMA). During emergency situations, Springfield Pike receives service from the Indian Creek Valley Water Authority (ICVWA).

On a typical day, PAW purchases approximately 0.7 million gallons to distribute to customers throughout the service area. This consistent supply ensures residents have reliable access to water for their daily needs.

1. Where does Pa-american Water Co-connellsv water come from?
   Pa-american Water Co-connellsv supplies purchased surface water to Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
2. Does Pa-american Water Co-connellsv test its tap water?
   Yes. Like every public water system, Pa-american Water Co-connellsv 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. Does Pa-american Water Co-connellsv 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.
4. Is Pa-american Water Co-connellsv 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.
