How does White Plains compare with other water systems in Greene County?
By EPA's size categories, White Plains is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Greene County has 29 active public water systems, and White Plains is the 6th-largest of them by population served. Its population served is about 44% below the county average of 881 people per system, and accounts for 1.9% of the 25,538 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 White Plains 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 White Plains?
EPA lists White Plains 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 29 active systems in Greene County (17%) are also owned by a local government.
Does White Plains have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 8 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2018. The violations listed here began between July 2014 and July 2018. By type: 8 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring and 1 monitoring and reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Gross alpha (excluding radon and uranium) (4 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved 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. 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.
