TELLICO AREA SERVICES SYSTEM is one of 144 community water systems in Tennessee in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 14,836 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1984 and 1997, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1997.
Of the 10, 9 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 Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Total Coliform Rules.
