What does “community water system” mean?

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 Berlin?

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. 10 of the 41 active systems in Colquitt County (24%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Berlin have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2012. The violations listed here began between July 2000 and July 2012. By type: 8 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 4 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (8 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 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.
