PORTLAND WATER SYSTEM is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 25,761 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries in 1980, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1980.
All 8 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.
