    Compliance

    1health-based violation in the last 10 years

    From EPA SDWIS. Counted once per contaminant per year, as in the Track record score.

    Not in this recordDisinfection by-products weren't monitored in this dataset

    No result is not a pass. Your utility's annual water quality report may list them, and a certified lab test covers your own tap.

    A federal limit (an MCL or action level) is an enforceable legal cap; a health goal is often stricter. Meeting the limit is a compliance fact, not a health clearance, and PurityMap publishes no overall compliance verdict.

    Screening tells you if something is worth a closer look; a lab result is the number you can act on.

    • Screening: quick check, not lab-grade

      Watersafe Drinking Water Test Kit

      Silver Lake Research

      Lead, bacteria, nitrate, copper, iron, chlorine, hardness and pH

      • Turnaround: Minutes; the bacteria test can take up to 48 hours

      What it can't tell you: Each test gives a yes/no or a rough range, not a lab number, and it cannot detect PFAS or arsenic.

      • Turnaround: 2–4 business days after the lab receives it

      What it can't tell you: It does not test PFAS, and not every result on the panel falls under the lab's accredited scope.

    Questions

    Frequently asked questions

    Who does JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY serve?

    JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY (PWS ID GA1570117) is a public water system serving 33,601 people in Jackson County, Georgia.

    Where does JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY get its water?

    JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY is on record as drawing from surface water. The source shapes which contaminants matter most for this system.

    What does JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY's monitoring record show?

    PurityMap's record for JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY holds 31 findings: 31 not detected, from 31 evidence records. Every finding links to its source; a substance that was never monitored is shown as pending, not as a pass.

    Is JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY's water safe to drink?

    PurityMap does not issue a safety verdict. It publishes JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY's measured results against each contaminant's benchmark so you can read them in context. Safety depends on the specific finding, your plumbing, and how the water reaches your tap.

    How current is this JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY data?

    The latest published record for JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY is dated 2026-10-15. Utilities report on regulatory cycles, so results reflect the monitoring period rather than a live reading.

    Does this assessment represent my home's tap water?

    No. It is assessed at the water-system level from JACKSON COUNTY WATER & SEWER AUTHORITY's own monitoring. It does not cover the service line to your building or the plumbing inside it, which can add lead and other metals after the water leaves the system. A tap test is the way to know what reaches your glass.
