Where the water comes from
Nanty Glo Water Auth's main water source is surface water (rivers, lakes or reservoirs). It buys treated water from Ebensburg Boro Muni Auth. The seller treats the water, including corrosion control that keeps lead from dissolving out of pipes, while Nanty Glo Water Auth is responsible for its own service line inventory and replacement program. It sells water to 2 other water systems: Jackson TWP Water Auth, Blacklick Valley Muni Auth.
