Safe Drinking Water Challenge

The Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) contains information about public water systems and their violations of EPA's drinking water regulations, as reported to EPA by the states. These regulations establish maximum contaminant levels, treatment techniques, and monitoring and reporting requirements to ensure that water systems provide safe water to their customers. This search will help you to find your drinking water supplier and view its violations and enforcement history since 1993.

The Challenge

  1. Within Clarke and Oconee county, what are the different Public Water Systems ( PWS ), the population served by each one, the regulating agency and the contact name and phone number.
    1. Public Water Systems by county (deprecated)
  2. Within Clarke and Oconee county, what are the violations and enforcement actions for the different PWSs.
    1. Violation and enforcement actions by county (deprecated)

    1. Contimnant definitions (deprecated)
    2. Linking health effects data to violation data (deprecated)
  4. Create documents (.txt, .doc, .docx, or .tex) for all PWSs found to have regulatory violation(s) that:
    1. Provide the information found in point #2 and #3
    2. Are addressed to the relevant agency/contact found in point #1
    3. Are distinct, such that each PWS should have it's own analysis and document
