LINCOLN MEMORIAL UNIVERSITY is one of 353 community water systems in Tennessee in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,600 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 16 entries between 1980 and 2009, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2009.
All 16 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 inorganic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Total Coliform Rules.
