How does Hamilton compare with other water systems in Harris County?
By EPA's size categories, Hamilton is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Harris County has 18 active public water systems, and Hamilton is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 18% above the county average of 1,868 people per system, and accounts for 6.6% of the 33,615 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 Hamilton 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. 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 Hamilton?
EPA lists Hamilton 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 18 active systems in Harris County (39%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Hamilton 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 2021. The violations listed here began between June 1993 and July 2021. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (6 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 6 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.
