SOMERSET WATER SERVICE is one of 104 community water systems in Kentucky in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 29,700 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 25 entries between 1993 and 2004, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2004.

Of the 25, 23 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, volatile organic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
