BLACK MTN UTILITY/LOUELLEN is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 520 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 98 entries between 1984 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.

Of the 98, 91 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 synthetic organic chemicals, volatile organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
