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 Richmond Hill?

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. 10 of the 55 active systems in Bryan County (18%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Richmond Hill have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2023. The violations listed here began between July 2010 and April 2023. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved, 2 as unaddressed and 1 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. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. 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.
