Did Demarcus Marshall know when he asked, “The water is good now, right?” about the 15 “Health Based Violations” and the 4 “Complete Failure to Report” plus the 1 “Monitoring, Routine Major (TCR)”, all in the last ten years? Maybe some of those have to do with why Lowndes County is doing major upgrades to the Alapaha Water System by the end of March 2015. However, given all those “Complete Failure to Report”, how will we know when or if it’s fixed? These reports found by Chris Graham. -jsq

Monitoring and Reporting and Other Violations: system failed to complete all samples or sample in a timely manner, or had another non-health-based violation. A significant monitoring violation means the system failed to take a large percentage of the required samples. Non-significant monitoring violations indicate that the water system failed to take some of the required samples, but did do some of the required sampling.

For more information on:
Violations more than 10 years back: Ask the operators of your water system, contact your state or file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Watersheds (the land areas drinking water comes from): Learn more about the health of this watershed.
Drinking water in your state: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/dwinfo/ga.htm
Drinking water in general: Visit EPA’s Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water web site or call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). EPA has also prepared fact sheets about various regulated drinking water contaminants.
Advanced tools for accessing EPA drinking water data: http://water.epa.gov/scitech/datait/databases/drink/index.cfm
Research Data: As well as monitoring the levels of drinking water contaminants for which EPA has set standards, EPA, states, and water systems also carry out studies of contaminants that may need to be regulated in the future. For more information about these, please see the National Contaminant Occurrence Database and the Microbe and Disinfection Byproducts study database.
Additional Information
In fiscal year 2005 (the last year for which EPA has complete data) based on information reported to EPA by the states, 1.5 percent of all systems reported a treatment technique violation, 6.1 percent of all systems reported an MCL violation, and 24 percent of all systems reported a reporting/monitoring violation.-jsq
