How does Andersonville compare with other water systems in Sumter County?
By EPA's size categories, Andersonville is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Sumter County has 15 active public water systems, and Andersonville is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,236 people per system, and accounts for 1.8% of the 18,537 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Georgia, the 2,375 active systems average 4,525 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Andersonville is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Georgia has 1,724 active community water systems, 73% of the state's 2,375 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,118 Georgia systems (89%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Andersonville?
EPA lists Andersonville as owned by a local government. The GA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 6 of the 15 active systems in Sumter County (40%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Andersonville have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2016. The violations listed here began between July 2008 and August 2016. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
