CUMBERLAND MUNICIPAL WATER WORKS is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,843 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 14 entries between 1993 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.

Of the 14, 11 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Total Coliform Rules, inorganic chemicals, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
