NEWPORT UTILITIES BOARD is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 34,925 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 16 entries between 1982 and 1993, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1993.
Of the 16, 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, the Former Total Trihalomethane Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
