Boil water advisories in Tennessee

We do not read this state's advisories

We read Tennessee TDEC Division of Water Resources' page and did not find a list of active advisories on it; the dated record of what we found is below. That is one page on one day, not a statement about what Tennessee TDEC Division of Water Resources publishes. Advisories may still be issued by your utility or your county directly.

Open Tennessee TDEC Division of Water Resources' site

We read Tennessee TDEC's drinking-water page on 4 October 2026. It links a Public Water System Emergency Dashboard, a map of water systems reporting emergency issues. On 3 October 2026 the issues that dashboard recorded were water-conservation requests and none was a boil water advisory, so it is not a list of boil water advisories and we do not offer it as one.

This is not a statement that your water is safe. We do not read this state's advisories, so this page cannot tell you whether one is in force. Your utility is the authority for your own water.
