Attention Jim Thorpe Public Water System Customer:

The Jim Thorpe Borough Water Department presents the following results of the Triannual DEP Required Lead and Copper Sampling.  As you will see our Water systems (2) both East and West are well below the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of both Copper and Lead.  Samples were taken throughout the distribution system and testing was completed at a DEP approved laboratory.  The results are measured in mg/L (milligram/Liter) or ppm (parts per million).  1 mg/L = 1 ppm.   DEP regulates all public water systems in the state, equally or more stringently than the EPA regulations.  In this case DEP regulates Copper and Lead contamination at the 90th percentile.  Those numbers are listed in the table below:

If you have any further questions, please call the office at (570) 325-3025

Thank you,

Jim Thorpe Borough Water Department
