Tennessee has 891 active transient non-community water systems, 64% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 44 Tennessee systems (3.2%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Tennessee Hills Camp Ground?

Does Tennessee Hills Camp Ground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2022. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and May 2022. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 as archived. 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.
