How does Milan compare with other water systems in Telfair County?
By EPA's size categories, Milan is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Telfair County has 7 active public water systems, and Milan is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about half of the county average of 1,467 people per system, and accounts for 7.7% of the 10,266 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 Milan is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?

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 Milan?
EPA lists Milan 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. 5 of the 7 active systems in Telfair County (71%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Milan have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2025. The violations listed here began between February 1991 and October 2025. By type: 9 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 3 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (9 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 2 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.
