🏭 Industrial Legacy

From the Sharon Iron Works to the Union Steel Company, over a century of heavy industry left iron, manganese, and trace metals in the geology beneath the Shenango Valley. That history still affects well water and aging infrastructure today.

🌊 Shenango River Source

Aqua Pennsylvania draws surface water from the Shenango River to serve Sharon and surrounding communities. While treated to meet federal standards, residual chloramine, hardness, and disinfection byproducts reach your tap through aging distribution lines.

🔥 WaterFire to Water Quality

Sharon celebrates the Shenango River each year with 80 burning braziers at WaterFire. We celebrate it every day by engineering systems that make the water flowing into your home as clean as the community deserves.

Orange staining on fixtures and brown-tinted laundry — common in homes with well water east of downtown and in older municipal connections. Iron removal →

Aqua Pennsylvania uses chloramine to disinfect Shenango River surface water. Chemical taste and odor persist at the tap. Whole-house filtration with Custom-Designed media removes it at every faucet.

Limestone beneath the valley adds calcium and magnesium. White scale on faucets, reduced appliance life, and filmy shower doors are telltale signs. Water softeners →

Well water homes near the Shenango River Lake and east toward Sharpsville encounter hydrogen sulfide trapped in glacial deposits. Sulfur removal →

Acidic groundwater corrodes copper pipes, producing blue-green stains and risking pinhole leaks. pH correction protects your plumbing. pH correction →

Private wells in the Shenango Valley face coliform risk after spring rains and seasonal flooding. UV treatment helps inactivate microorganisms without chemicals. UV treatment →
