COPPERHILL WATER DEPT is one of 353 community water systems in Tennessee in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,217 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1991 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
Of the 3, 2 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 Total Coliform Rules.
