Water comes from Lcpsa-Blue Springs water system
The Lcpsa-Blue Springs water system supplies Rose Hill: about 64% of residents live in its service area. About 36% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws ground water influenced by surface water (EPA lists Lcpsa- Kvs and Lee County Psa/Miller Chapel as sellers) and serves 1,968 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 78% of the 7,966 systems serving 1,001–3,300 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2024–Dec 2026, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
