Serving Hatfield

Located in northwestern Montgomery County, Hatfield is a welcoming suburban community with a mix of established neighborhoods and new development. While most residents receive public water through the North Penn Water Authority (NPWA), a significant number also rely on private wells—both of which come with water quality challenges worth addressing.
One of the most common issues for Hatfield homeowners is hard water, with public supply levels typically measuring between 7 and 10 grains per gallon (GPG). That’s considered “hard” to “very hard” water, and it can lead to scale buildup in pipes, cloudy dishes, dry skin, and premature wear on water-using appliances. Even if the water is safe to drink, the long-term effects of hardness on your plumbing system and budget can’t be ignored.
PFAS has received increased attention nationally and regionally. Information about NPWA’s PFAS monitoring and results is available directly from the Authority at npwa.org/water-quality-reports. NPWA also conducts annual hydrant inspection and flushing to maintain hydrant readiness and distribution-system water quality. This routine maintenance program is unrelated to PFAS treatment. Although public water systems maintain water quality within their distribution systems, property owners remain responsible for addressing concerns associated with in-home plumbing, private service lines and appliances.
