    1226 RULES AND REGULATIONS Title 25—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION [25 PA. CODE CH. 93] Corrective Amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j (relating to Drainage List J) as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau (Bureau) and published at 32 Pa.B. 4695, 4699 (September 28, 2002) and the official text as published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 337, December 2002), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. When the amendments made by the Department at 32 Pa.B. 4695 were codified, an entry for the Lackawanna River in Luzerne County and an unnamed tributary to it were never deleted as proposed. Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department has deposited with the Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j is effective as of December 7, 2002, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation. Annex A TITLE 25. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PART I. DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Subpart C.

(This report contains important information about your drinking water. Have someone translate it for you if needed.) A Message from the President Dear Valued Customer: On behalf of all Pennsylvania American Water employees, I am pleased to share with you another excellent annual report on the quality of your drinking water. This Water Quality Report provides the results of local water testing between January and December 2018. As you will see, we continue to supply your community with water that meets or surpasses all regulatory standards. Water service from Pennsylvania American Water is an exceptional value. We employ a great deal of expertise, technology and infrastructure to bring water from the source, treat it to make it safe and clean, and deliver it to you around the clock. Our plant operators, water quality experts, engineers and maintenance crews work continuously to make sure reliable water service is always there when you need it. Delivering high-quality water service also requires significant investment to replace and upgrade aging pipe, equipment and facilities. In 2018 alone, we invested nearly $352 million in system improvements across the Commonwealth. We also remain committed to protecting our drinking water supplies, and we continue to support efforts to improve our watersheds and use advanced technology to monitor the quality of our water sources. Water is essential for public health, fire protection, economic development and our overall quality of life.
