Pennsylvania · system PA1090078 · serves 59,001 people · purchased water
This system purchases its water; the band reflects the supplier's most recent reported result within a rolling three-year window. The three-year range below is the supplier's, not this system's own sampling. The water comes from Aqua Pa Bristol (PA1090001) and Lower Bucks Co Joint Mun Auth (PA1090026) and North Wales Water Authority (PA1460048).
The reading
A single reading is not a complete account of what a household drinks, so the three-year range and the number of tests behind it are shown too — a reading backed by many tests over three years is a fuller picture than one from a single sample.

Where this ranks
The water this system purchases sits in the top 9% nationally. Systems reporting less serve about 91% of everyone on NitrateSmart's tracked supply; the other about 9% are on systems reporting the same or more. That compares what systems reported, not what comes out of any one tap.
What "Human impact clear" means
Above 3 mg/L, human activity is the leading explanation for the nitrate in this system's water[1]. It is still a statement about the source, not a health verdict — the level is well below the federal limit.
Sources
The bands describe how strongly human activity, read from nitrate, has marked a water source — they are not a safety verdict. More on what the numbers mean and where nitrate comes from.
