Contamination score

Higher = more contaminated vs. other cities.

Abbyville is served by Reno County Rural Water District 101, which has a documented history of elevated nitrate levels — samples in the district have ranged as high as several hundred parts per million against a 10 mg/L federal limit — prompting a project to pipe in diluting supply from Hutchinson. KDHE has also issued Do Not Drink orders for portions of the district (most recently in 2026, triggered by a water-main break) and the district's ongoing nitrate problem was the subject of a 2018 investigative report on Kansas farm-town water crises. Infants are at particular risk from nitrate-contaminated water.
