BENTON WATER & SEWER is one of 150 community water systems in Kentucky in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,981 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 51 entries between 1992 and 2014, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2014.

Of the 51, 50 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 the Total Coliform Rules.
