How does Perry compare with other water systems in Houston County?
By EPA's size categories, Perry is a large system (10,001 to 100,000 people). Houston County has 10 active public water systems, and Perry is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 40% above the county average of 25,420 people per system, and accounts for 14% of the 254,200 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 Perry?
EPA lists Perry 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 10 active systems in Houston County (60%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Perry have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2014. The violations listed here began between January 1993 and October 2014. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (4 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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.
