How does Covestro compare with other water systems in Marshall County?
By EPA's size categories, Covestro is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Marshall County has 14 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 2,182 people per system, and accounts for 1% of the 30,546 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across West Virginia, the 791 active systems average 2,032 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Covestro is about 30% 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. West Virginia has 55 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7% of the state's 791 active systems. Surface water means the system draws its water from rivers, lakes, streams or reservoirs. 110 West Virginia systems (14%) list surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Covestro?
EPA lists Covestro as privately owned. The WV state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 4 of the 14 active systems in Marshall County (29%) are also privately owned.
Does Covestro have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in November 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2025 and November 2025. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminants or rules involved are Chlorine, Haloacetic acids (HAA5), Total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Chromium. EPA lists 12 as archived.
