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.

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 Long Branch Day Care?
EPA lists Long Branch Day Care as privately owned. 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. 34 of the 48 active systems in Lumpkin County (71%) are also privately owned.
Does Long Branch Day Care 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 2006. The violations listed here began between October 2000 and July 2006. By type: 12 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as archived and 4 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.
