How does Newington compare with other water systems in Screven County?
By EPA's size categories, Newington is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Screven County has 19 active public water systems, and Newington is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is roughly in line with the county average of 439 people per system, and accounts for 5.1% of the 8,345 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 Newington 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 Newington?
EPA lists Newington 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. 6 of the 19 active systems in Screven County (32%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Newington 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 2025. The violations listed here began between July 2009 and August 2025. By type: 5 monitoring, 5 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as archived and 1 as unaddressed. 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement.
