Pottstown Calls on Residents to

Help Improve Water System

Residents are encouraged to participate by inspecting their homes and submitting their findings to help the borough prioritize areas in need of attention. By taking a few simple steps, residents can play a key role in improving local water quality and ensuring safer drinking water for everyone.

For more information and to submit your inspection results, visit the borough’s water safety portal.
