THORNTON PSD is one of 760 community water systems in West Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 188 people from surface water.
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 3 entries between 1991 and 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.
All 3 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 Lead and Copper Rule and the Total Coliform Rules.
