GRIFFITH CREEK U.D. is one of 353 community water systems in Tennessee in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,104 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1990 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.
Of the 10, 8 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, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
