How does Morgan compare with other water systems in Calhoun County?
By EPA's size categories, Morgan is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Calhoun County has 6 active public water systems, and Morgan is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 65% below the county average of 897 people per system, and accounts for 5.9% of the 5,381 people reported by systems filed under the county.

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 Morgan?
EPA lists Morgan 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 6 active systems in Calhoun County (83%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Morgan have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in August 2023. The violations listed here began between January 2003 and August 2023. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
