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

Long Term Project

York Water is in the midst of a three-phase dam improvement project that will span over several construction seasons. Phase 1 work has been completed and Lake Williams’ gates are now up, and the lake is at full capacity. We are awaiting DEP approval for Phase 2 work to reconstruct the dam’s spillway to current design standards. Once approval is granted, we will need to lower the water level 20 feet to complete the spillway construction work.
