BUTLER WATER WORKS is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 980 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 1993 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 23, 18 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Total Coliform Rules, and inorganic chemicals.
