How does Wayne Farms LLC compare with other water systems in Jackson County?

By EPA's size categories, Wayne Farms LLC is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Jackson County has 13 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 6,873 people per system, and accounts for 1% of the 89,348 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Georgia, the 2,375 active systems average 4,525 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Wayne Farms LLC is about twice that figure.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Georgia has 158 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.7% of the state's 2,375 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 138 Georgia systems (5.8%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.

Who owns and regulates Wayne Farms LLC?

EPA lists Wayne Farms LLC as privately owned. 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 13 active systems in Jackson County (46%) are also privately owned.

Does Wayne Farms LLC have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 3 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2013. The violations listed here began between November 1996 and October 2013. By type: 9 monitoring and reporting and 3 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (8 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 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.
