County shares are USGS estimates of residents on self-supplied domestic water (mostly private wells) for 2015, the most recent county-level release: USGS: Estimated Use of Water in the United States, County-Level Data for 2015 (Dieter and others, 2018). Percentages are calculated from the USGS population and self-supplied population columns.

Valley homes, mountain homes

Private wells cluster outside city water service. The USGS 2015 county estimates put self-supplied residents at about 40% in Johnson County and about 26% in Carter County, compared with about 7% in Washington County and about 1% in Sullivan County (USGS). So well owners are most common on the rural edges: the Carter County hollows toward Hampton and Roan Mountain, and the farm country around Jonesborough, Gray and Limestone.

Crossing a county line does not change the state rule: anywhere in Tennessee, the person working on your pump needs a TDEC license (TDEC).
