How does Recovery Works compare with other water systems in Graves County?
By EPA's size categories, Recovery Works is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Graves County has 11 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,757 people per system, and accounts for 0.2% of the 30,322 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Kentucky, the 437 active systems average 11,699 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Recovery Works is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Kentucky has 16 active non-transient non-community water systems, 3.7% of the state's 437 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 111 Kentucky systems (25%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Recovery Works?
EPA lists Recovery Works as privately owned. The KY state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 2 of the 11 active systems in Graves County (18%) are also privately owned.
Does Recovery Works have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2024. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and October 2024. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Lead and Copper Rule Revisions, E. coli, 1,1,2-Trichloroethane and cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 as resolved. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
