Kentucky Water Quality Facts and Drinking Water Problems

The Kentucky River, a tributary of the Ohio River, is one of the state’s greatest natural resources and provides much of the drinking water for the state of Kentucky. The state also gets water directly from the Ohio River and from various surface water and groundwater sources before being sent to water treatment facilities throughout the Bluegrass State..

While Kentucky features an abundance of natural water sources, water that flows through taps in homes and businesses can still be hard, due to additives — like minerals or chemicals — absorbed along its journey from source to treatment facility, and during the treatment process itself.
