How does Mcdonald Village compare with other water systems in Long County?
By EPA's size categories, Mcdonald Village is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Long County has 55 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 149 people per system, and accounts for 0.5% of the 8,172 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 Mcdonald Village 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 Mcdonald Village?
EPA lists Mcdonald Village 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. 54 of the 55 active systems in Long County (98%) are also privately owned.
Does Mcdonald Village have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in December 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1997 and December 2024. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 7 as archived and 5 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.
