OAK RIDGE, Tenn. (February 27, 2026) – The 28th annual water quality report is now available for viewing on the City of Oak Ridge website. The direct link to the report is oakridgetn.gov/waterqualityreport.
Also known as the Consumer Confidence Report, it was mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1998 as an amendment to the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The report, which contains information on the quality of the drinking water delivered by the city to the water customers as well as characterizing the risks from exposure to contaminants, again shows that Oak Ridgers have excellent drinking water. The city’s report indicates that Oak Ridge water was in compliance in all respects with state and federal drinking water requirements in 2025.
The state rule requires every community water system to produce a report by July 1 of each year and make it available to each customer served by the water system. Paper copies of the water quality report are available by calling (865) 425-1875.
