How does Tarrytown compare with other water systems in Montgomery County?
By EPA's size categories, Tarrytown is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Montgomery County has 12 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 461 people per system, and accounts for 2.1% of the 5,531 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 Tarrytown 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. Purchased groundwater means the system buys groundwater from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 13 Georgia systems (0.5%) list purchased groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Tarrytown?
EPA lists Tarrytown 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. 5 of the 12 active systems in Montgomery County (42%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Tarrytown have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in October 2017. The violations listed here began between October 1999 and October 2017. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting and 6 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Consumer Confidence Rule (6 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
