Water comes from Aqua Pa Chalfont
Aqua Pa Chalfont supplies almost all of Chalfont. It draws ground water (EPA lists North Penn Water Authority as seller) and serves 5,900 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jun–Sep 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
