Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Mount Washington tap water safe to drink?
PurityMap does not give a safe/unsafe verdict; it shows what the public records measured. For Mount Washington, PFOA 7.2 ng/L was measured above the 4 ng/L federal limit in EPA's 2024 testing. MT WASHINGTON WATER COMPANY (PWSID KY0150300) has a Purity Score of 61/100 (confidence: moderate), assessed at the water-system level and computed only from contaminants that were measured. Water can change in your own pipes, so a certified test is the only way to know what comes out of your tap.
Who provides tap water in Mount Washington?
MT WASHINGTON WATER COMPANY (PWS ID KY0150300) is the public water system on record for Mount Washington, Kentucky, serving about 23,760 people. Confirm the utility on your water bill before acting on a specific finding.
Where does Mount Washington get its drinking water?
Surface water (primary source of record in EPA SDWIS).
Are PFAS "forever chemicals" in Mount Washington's water?
Yes. In EPA's UCMR 5 testing (2025-06-05 to 2026-02-10), PFOA was measured at 7.2 ng/L against a 4 ng/L federal limit. PFPeA (4.1 ng/L) was also detected; it has no federal or state limit. Reverse osmosis and filters certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for PFOA/PFOS reduce them at the tap.
Is there lead in Mount Washington's tap water?
Lead is not in Mount Washington's current published record. Lead usually enters from a building's own pipes and fixtures, so a certified home test is the way to know yours.
What does the latest Mount Washington water report show?
PurityMap's current record for Mount Washington holds 31 findings: 1 above a reference, 1 detected with no limit and 29 not detected. Each finding links to its dated public record; a parameter that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.
