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 Excelsior E.M.C.?

Does Excelsior E.M.C. have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 5 violations for this system; none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between October 1997 and July 2025. By type: 4 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 3 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed 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. 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.
