O'CONNOR UTILITY DISTRICT is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 10,025 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 6 entries between 1991 and 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.
Of the 6, 5 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 and inorganic chemicals.
