FIRST U.D. OF KNOX COUNTY is among the 8 largest community water systems in Tennessee, serving 115,531 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries between 1989 and 1992, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1992.
All 20 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 volatile organic chemicals and the Total Coliform Rules.
