SOUTH PITTSBURG WATER SYSTEM is one of 153 community water systems in Tennessee in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,304 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 1982 and 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
All 19 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, inorganic chemicals, and the Total Coliform Rules.
