HORSE CAVE WATER SYSTEM is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,744 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 2000 and 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
Of the 13, 12 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
