Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

Adamstown sits in the Lancaster/Berks County farm belt of southeastern Pennsylvania. No specific EPA or state violations for Adamstown itself turned up in research, but the surrounding southeastern PA region has documented widespread PFAS in groundwater (roughly two-thirds of tested wells showing detections, with a meaningful share above the new federal MCL) and nitrate pressure from agriculture, which raises the regional baseline.
