  • Water utility and source. Whitesville Water Works (EPA system KY0300467), owned by the city, buys its water from Daviess County Water District and Ohio County Water District and serves about 3,672 people through 1,584 connections, according to EPA records. Source
  • City-run sewer. Whitesville runs its own sewer system; RWRA serves the rest of Daviess County but not the City of Whitesville. Source
  • Sewer plant backup power. A state water-project record says Whitesville's wastewater plant and its six sewer lift stations have no backup power, and the city is seeking a 100 kW fixed generator for the plant and a portable 40 kW unit for the lift stations. Source
  • Sewer plant compliance work. The city's wastewater plant valves are about 40 years old; a funded project to replace them responds to a state notice of violation received Jan. 10, 2024, and the sewer system remains under an agreed order. Source
