Frequently Asked Questions About Byesville Tap Water
Byesville's water has 3 contaminants above EPA MCLGs. We recommend using a certified water filter for additional protection, especially for vulnerable populations like children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems. EPA records 2 health-based violations for BYESVILLE that began after its latest compliance result on file (Dec 2022): Treatment Technique (SWTR and GWR) (Groundwater Rule), which began on December 1, 2024; Failure to Filter (SWTR) (Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule), which began on February 1, 2024. Every such result predates them; its later EPA UCMR 5 results (Oct 2023) screen for unregulated contaminants and cannot show the water met this standard, so this page does not call the water safe.
