- Water spreading? Close the main shutoff valve, usually where the water line enters the house.
- Only one fixture? Try the small shutoff valve under that sink or behind that toilet.
- Is the drain slow in one spot or everywhere? Everywhere often points to the main line.
- Water near outlets or the panel? Stay clear and switch off that breaker only if it is dry where you stand.

- About 254,671 people get water from Knoxville Utilities Board, Kub, the main community system for Knoxville in EPA records, supplied from surface water. Its latest lead 90th percentile result was 0.0006 mg/L (01/01/2023-12/31/2025). That system serves more people than the main system in 4 of the 56 other cities we cover; Des Moines, IA is the closest in size.
