By EPA's size categories, Spring Creek Utility District is a small system (501 to 3,300 people).

Its population served is about twice the county average of 1,047 people per system, and accounts for 13% of the 15,703 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Spring Creek Utility District is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?

Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 22 Tennessee systems (1.6%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.

Does Spring Creek Utility District have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between June 1998 and July 2025. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as unaddressed, 4 as resolved and 1 as archived. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
