Aqua Pennsylvania Customers: Possible slightly salty water

February 11, 2026 - Aqua Pennsylvania customers might notice that their drinking water has a slightly salty taste. This change is largely attributed to the runoff of road salts used on roadways, parking lots, and other treated surfaces in response to winter storms and icing conditions. Road salts are typically made up of a combination of sodium, chloride and calcium, all of which are naturally occurring and can be found in drinking water on any given day. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) do not have drinking water standards for either sodium or calcium. EPA and DEP have a secondary standard for chloride, however, secondary standards are not considered to have any public health risks. Barring additional salting of roads, the salty taste in the water should pass within a few days. We thank our customers for their patience and understanding.
