How does Turkey Creek Marina compare with other water systems in Humphreys County?
By EPA's size categories, Turkey Creek Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Humphreys County has 17 active public water systems.

What does “transient non-community water system” mean?
A transient non-community water system serves places where people do not stay long, such as gas stations and campgrounds, and regularly serves at least 25 people a day for at least 60 days a year. Tennessee has 891 active transient non-community water systems, 64% of the state's 1,383 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,038 Tennessee systems (75%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Turkey Creek Marina?
EPA lists Turkey Creek Marina as privately owned. The TN state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 14 of the 17 active systems in Humphreys County (82%) are also privately owned.
Does Turkey Creek Marina have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2024. The violations listed here began between July 1997 and January 2024. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived, 2 as resolved and 2 as addressed. 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. 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. Addressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is covered by formal enforcement.
