How does Basf Corporation compare with other water systems in Decatur County?
By EPA's size categories, Basf Corporation is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Decatur County has 24 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 820 people per system, and accounts for 1% of the 19,683 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Georgia, the 2,375 active systems average 4,525 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Basf Corporation is about half of that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Georgia has 158 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.7% 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 Basf Corporation?
EPA lists Basf Corporation as privately owned. 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. 16 of the 24 active systems in Decatur County (67%) are also privately owned.
Does Basf Corporation have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 8 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2011. The violations listed here began between January 1995 and January 2011. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 4 as resolved and 4 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.
