ORME WATER SYSTEM is one of 538 community water systems in Tennessee in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 85 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2008; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 23 entries between 1979 and 1998, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1998.
Of the 23, 22 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 Lead and Copper Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
