How does Bowersville compare with other water systems in Hart County?
By EPA's size categories, Bowersville is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Hart County has 29 active public water systems, and Bowersville is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 589 people per system, and accounts for 3.5% of the 17,076 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 Bowersville 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. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 138 Georgia systems (5.8%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Bowersville?

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. 3 of the 29 active systems in Hart County (10%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Bowersville 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 2025. The violations listed here began between September 2013 and July 2025. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 5 monitoring and reporting and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved, 3 as unaddressed and 3 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
