How does Werbls compare with other water systems in Putnam County?
By EPA's size categories, Werbls is a small system (501 to 3,300 people). Putnam County has 26 active public water systems, and Werbls is the 3rd-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 134% above the county average of 938 people per system, and accounts for 9% of the 24,376 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 Werbls 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. 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 Werbls?
EPA lists Werbls 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. 22 of the 26 active systems in Putnam County (85%) are also privately owned.
Does Werbls have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2025. The violations listed here began between January 2023 and January 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate-Nitrite (7 of them). EPA lists 10 as archived and 2 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.
