OHIO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT Water System
Consumer Confidence Report status
OHIO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.
As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for OHIO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT.
Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Kentucky’s official records. Always confirm current status with Kentucky before making decisions based on this information.

OHIO COUNTY WATER DISTRICT is one of 104 community water systems in Kentucky in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 16,511 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 48 entries between 1994 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.
Of the 48, 38 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
