Approximate service area
Map the reviewed system boundary
Use the EPA modeled boundary to orient yourself, then confirm the provider for a property with Augusta Water, a water bill, or the utility account. Augusta’s municipal limits and this modeled boundary are different kinds of evidence.
EPA Version 3 returned one PWSID-matched MultiPolygon for GA2450000. The feature is classified as a modeled municipality boundary and is useful for geographic orientation, not address-level provider proof.

The EPA feature’s population and connection fields are dated dataset attributes, not a live customer count. A modeled boundary can omit, include, or overlap properties and does not establish a connection, provider, source, or tap condition. Confirm service with Augusta Water, a water bill, or the utility account.
Source context
What the linked report says about Augusta’s water sources
These are system-level descriptions from the 2025 report and Georgia’s system record. They do not identify the source or condition at a particular address.
Savannah River surface water
The 2025 report says the Highland Avenue and Max Hicks plants draw from the Savannah River.
South Augusta groundwater
The same report describes wells drawing from the Cretaceous Aquifer.
State classification
Georgia Drinking Water Watch lists the system’s primary source as SW. The state category and the report’s mixed-source description are retained separately.
Annual report
The 2025 report is the current reviewed source in this record
The complete source extraction contains 22 report rows across IDSE, annual testing, lead/copper, and UCMR tables. The city page keeps the orientation concise; the system page owns the full table.

PFAS and UCMR
Dated UCMR rows remain separate from current status
The reviewed report includes seven 2023/24 UCMR rows and PFAS rule context. UCMR monitoring is not a current advisory or a household exposure result.
The system page keeps the printed analytes, periods, units, and unregulated labels with the complete report table.
Read Augusta’s UCMR/PFAS context →Lead and copper
Read the report statistic with its sample scope
The 2025 report says lead and copper samples were collected from 50 homes throughout the service area in August 2025.
Copper
160 ppb; range 7.1 - 600. 0 above the source-printed action level.
Lead
1.4 ppb; range 0 - 20. 2 out of 50 above the source-printed action level.
These are report-period group statistics, not measurements from every Augusta tap. Read the full context on the system page →
Service lines
The report’s service-line language is not property verification
The 2025 report contains service-line material and directs readers to provider resources. This page does not assign a material to any property or address.
Ask the provider for the current inventory method, date, and address-specific confirmation path. The report’s historical wording is linked to the system record rather than generalized to Augusta.

Historical records need their dates and status labels
Georgia DWW returns eight individual historical records for GA2450000. The records are shown on the system page with DWW’s warning that some may be resolved or returned to compliance.

Ask the provider about testing scope before acting on a result
The reviewed sources provide a water-quality contact path but do not establish a current household sample program, fee, bottle, eligibility, or turnaround terms.
The system-level report rows describe the source’s sampling design. They do not determine the condition of a particular home or tap.
Read the evidence-limited testing guidance →Source protection
Assessment and protection records remain evidence-limited
The report discusses source-water assessment and protection context, but a current PWSID-bound assessment or protection plan was not accepted in this review.
The gap is visible on the system page with the official Georgia EPD path and a specific next retrieval action. It is not a claim that no plan or assessment exists.
