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 Braselton?
EPA lists Braselton 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. 7 of the 13 active systems in Jackson County (54%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Braselton have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2022. The violations listed here began between July 2005 and August 2022. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (2 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.
