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.

Does Rentz have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 3 violations for this system; 1 is health-based, and the most recent began in September 2004. The violations listed here began between January 1994 and September 2004. By type: 1 contaminant level above the legal limit, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (2 of them). EPA lists 2 as archived and 1 as resolved. 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. 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.
