Water Quality Snapshot: Lubeck Psd

Lubeck Psd is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 10,377 residents in Washington, West Virginia (Wood County) through 4,947 service connections. Its water is drawn from groundwater sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 79 total violations for this system , of which 11 (14%) are health-based, meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 63 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2022.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is Coliform (TCR), recorded in 9 violations (MCL, health-based). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 5 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 179.5 ppt (parts per trillion). PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across West Virginia, EPA tracks 774 public water systems serving 1,597,057 people, with 187,590 cumulative violations and 11,480 health-based violations on record. About 99% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 242.4 violations. Statewide, 46 of 102 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (45.1%).
