Big Sandy Water District (KY) Water Quality

Big Sandy Water District is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 41124, 41132, 41146, 41201, 41232, 41254 zip codes. It has 11 facilities where the water supply was tested for 68 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 3.7 µg/L. The maximum reported level of 2-methoxyethanol was 0.63 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 88.3 µg/L. Some (1 of 16 or 6%) of the latest water samples showed levels of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 21 µg/L. There were 4 contamintants found in the Big Sandy Water District water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
