ATHENS UTILITIES BOARD is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 26,424 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 30 entries between 1980 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
All 30 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
