CARTHAGE WATER SYSTEM is one of 153 community water systems in Tennessee in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 3,624 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 2006 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.

Of the 6, 3 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 the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
