FORKS OF THE RIVER WATER PLANT is one of 353 community water systems in Tennessee in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 2,100 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1982; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1978 and 1981, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1981.
All 26 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 and synthetic organic chemicals.
