JOHNSON CITY-FORDTOWN is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 14,450 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1987; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 13 entries between 1978 and 1980, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1980.

All 13 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 and synthetic organic chemicals.
