Oakland Borough owns and operates its own Water System. We are now the Oakland Borough Water Authority as of 2013. We supply high quality water to around 650 residents and 250 homes and 1 business. We strive to keep our water affordable and to its highest quality! In 2008 we rebuilt and upgraded our Electric and Pumphouses, and on June 17, 2009 our 200,000 gallon water tank was refurbished! All this while keeping up our Annual Pre-maintenance programs of flushing our 44 hydrants and the turning of all our valves. Well #2 was rehabilitated and refurbished on 2012. A motor was installed on Well #1 on June 12, 2009, by Cresswells; it was possibly hit by lightning. An anode replacement and tank cleaning was done on June 17. 2009

In 2009 we started using an Emergency Call-out system, now called RAVE Mobile Safety (previously Swiftreach 911). This will not only keep all residents informed of an emergency situation, either in our water system, such as a boil advisory. Or it can be an informative information tool if there is a situation happening within the Boro, such as a street closing for work/maintenance right down to a concert in the park. So please, if you haven’t given your phone/contact information, please send it to the Water Authority, at PO Box 148 or click on the Rave link on our home page and update your information, this is very important.
Each month we do our monthly testing enforced and regulated by DEP, our testing includes a Total Coliform/E Coli test and a Chlorine Report. Our water tests are performed by Pace Laboratories. All test results are sent to the DEP in Harrisburg. Since 2004 with consistent maintenance and upkeep, we have saved millions of gallons of water.
