Indiana have struggled to maintain compliance with EPA regulations enforced by Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Residents are strongly encouraged to utilize certified water filtration systems.
The accumulation of 48 health-based violations over the past 5 years highlights systemic challenges within Jeffersonville's water infrastructure. When violations occur, it means that drinking water tests revealed contaminant levels exceeding safe limits, triggering mandatory corrective actions by Indiana Department of Environmental Management.

Fortunately, the modeled risk for widespread lead exposure in Jeffersonville's municipal water is relatively low compared to national averages.
