KENTUCKY STATE PENITENTIARY is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,200 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 24 entries between 1985 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.
Of the 24, 14 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, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
