How does Oliver compare with other water systems in Screven County?
By EPA's size categories, Oliver is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Screven County has 19 active public water systems, and Oliver is the 5th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 36% below the county average of 439 people per system, and accounts for 3.4% of the 8,345 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 Oliver?
EPA lists Oliver 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 Oliver have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in May 2019. The violations listed here began between July 2004 and May 2019. By type: 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 4 monitoring and reporting and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved 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. 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.
