MCCREARY COUNTY WATER DISTRICT is among the 24 largest community water systems in Kentucky, serving 34,439 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 21 entries between 1989 and 2018, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2018.

Of the 21, 15 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 inorganic chemicals, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and the Former Total Trihalomethane Rule.
