BOWLING GREEN CITY is one of 180 community water systems in Ohio in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 31,578 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 1986 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.
Of the 13, 10 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
