Georgetown Municipal Water Service (KY) Water Quality

Georgetown Municipal Water Service is a large public water system in EPA region 4 that provides tap water for the 40324 zip codes. It has 3 facilities where the water supply was tested for 90 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 1-butanol was 4.11 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 41.28 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.0217 µg/L. Some (1 of 4 or 25%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 3 contamintants found in the Georgetown Municipal Water Service 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.
