How does Harrison compare with other water systems in Washington County?
By EPA's size categories, Harrison is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Washington County has 12 active public water systems, and Harrison is the 4th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 57% below the county average of 1,165 people per system, and accounts for 3.6% of the 13,985 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 Harrison 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 Harrison?
EPA lists Harrison 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 12 active systems in Washington County (58%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Harrison have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2017 and August 2023. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Public Notice, Lead and Copper Rule, Revised Total Coliform Rule and Nickel. EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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. 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.
