COPPER BASIN UTILITY DISTRICT is one of 353 community water systems in Tennessee in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,710 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 21 entries in 1996, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1996.
All 21 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.
