Celebrating 210 Years!

Since 1816, the mission of The York Water Company has been clear: protect our community and deliver safe, reliable water. Founded to prevent fire and supply water to local industry in York (then Yorktowne), York Water now collects, treats, and distributes drinking water to customers across York, Adams, Franklin, and Lancaster Counties.

Thank you for being part of our story and for trusting “that good York water” for more than two centuries.

 

 

The 2025 Water Quality Consumer Confidence Reports are now available.

These extensive reports are published, in accordance with EPA and PA DEP guidelines annually for all our water systems and can be found here.

 

Lake Williams Dam Project

Reservoir Lowered

Lake Williams reservoir has been lowered about 6 feet.
Lake Williams reservoir has been lowered about 6 feet

Lake Williams reservoir has been lowered about 6 feet, in accordance with Fish and Boat Commission requirements. This lowering is necessary in order to start the planned work on the Lake Williams Dam. In 2022 and most of 2023, the Lake Williams reservoir will need to remain lowered for dam reconstruction. Because we can pull water for treatment from Lake Redman, your water supply and that of all York Water’s customers will not be affected by the temporary drawdown and construction at Lake Williams. Our investments in operational flexibility will allow us to continue to provide the same high-quality water that The York Water Company takes pride in delivering. However, we recognize that the temporary viewshed and appearance will not be typical.
