Source report notes

Source: Knoxville Utilities Board 2025 Water Quality Report. Retrieved 2026-08-02.

  • Applies to: Nitrate

    The source prints Nitrate, 0.48 ppm in the combined Range or Level Detected column, MCLG 10 ppm, and MCL 10 ppm. No separate range or row-specific violation field is printed. Annual-report values and printed status describe only the cited 2025 report or sample period. They are not a current compliance feed, advisory determination, address-level result, household-tap result, exposure conclusion, or safety conclusion. The reviewed relationship does not identify the provider for an address or prove exclusive service.

  • Applies to: Fluoride

    The source prints Fluoride, 0.47 - 0.68 ppm (avg 0.57 ppm), MCLG 4 ppm, and MCL 4 ppm. The table has no row-specific violation field. Annual-report values and printed status describe only the cited 2025 report or sample period. They are not a current compliance feed, advisory determination, address-level result, household-tap result, exposure conclusion, or safety conclusion. The reviewed relationship does not identify the provider for an address or prove exclusive service.

Important limitation

Profile summary note

This page summarizes public records reviewed by this site. It does not replace official notices, utility updates, or state drinking water information.

System profile limitations

  • The bounded preview shows only Nitrate and Fluoride from physical PDF page 6. Other rows, PFAS context, health language, lead material, safety claims, standards statements, and service-line conclusions are not reproduced.
  • Nitrate preserves 0.48 ppm as the source's combined Range or Level Detected field without inventing a separate range. Fluoride preserves 0.47 - 0.68 ppm and average 0.57 ppm.
  • The source table has no row-specific violation field, so no current or report-wide status is assigned to either row.
  • Physical page 4 calls the Tennessee River source reasonably susceptible to potential contamination. That assessment category remains dated source-water context, not a current detection, advisory, exposure, household-tap, or safety conclusion.
  • KUB's combined-utility footprint and other Knoxville-area utilities remain separate from the drinking-water PWSID. The evidence does not prove exclusive service or identify the provider for an address.
  • The linked news, outage-guide, and report paths can change. Their review does not prove that no current notice exists elsewhere.
  • Address-level service can vary. Confirm the serving provider with a bill, account portal, utility, city, or state source.
  • This page shows summarized entries from the available report. It does not include a complete contaminant or violation table.
  • Missing fields are not findings. They mean the field is not shown on this page from the records currently available.
