MCDOWELL COUNTY PSD ELKHORN is one of 760 community water systems in West Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 167 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2015; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 63 entries between 1993 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.
