PADUCAH WATER WORKS is among the 9 largest community water systems in Kentucky, serving 65,004 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 33 entries between 1991 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.

Of the 33, 29 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 volatile organic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.

EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
