EPA Version 3 returned one PWSID-matched multipolygon for SC0610001. EPA identifies it as an Office of Research and Development Random Forest model for a Residential Area; it is geographic context, not a utility- or state-certified service boundary.

System facilities
How does Barnwell source and treat its water?
The City’s 2025 report describes groundwater wells, chlorine disinfection, and two elevated tanks. It does not identify the well serving a home or establish current facility status.
Groundwater source
The report says Barnwell drinking water comes from wells tapped into an underground aquifer system. It states five wells but prints six well-number entries; that count discrepancy is preserved, not resolved.
Report pages 1–2; the source wording difference remains open.
Treatment and storage
The report describes chlorine disinfection and lists two elevated tanks in its system context. The 2025 chlorine row is shown in the complete table below; neither statement establishes current operation.
Report pages 1–4; facility inventory completeness was not independently established.
Source: City of Barnwell 2025 CCR. No separate accepted source-water assessment, wellhead-protection plan, corrosion-control record, or fluoridation record was found in the reviewed packet.
Report results
Results in the City’s 2025 report
These are the seven rows printed for SC0610001. Check each sample period: the report includes 2023 and 2024 tests as well as 2025 results.
How to read these results
The chlorine row reports 0.4 ppm for its 2025 sample period, with a range of 0.28–0.47 ppm. The printed benchmark is an MRDL of 4 ppm (maximum residual disinfectant level). “2025” is the CCR’s report year; a separate publication date was not verified. Barium, lead, and copper use 2023 sample periods, so the cover year is not every test date.
“Violation: No” is the report’s printed status for this chlorine row and period. Comparing 0.4 with 4 does not establish current compliance, household exposure, or tap-water safety. This report does not identify a separate supplier-result table; results from another system should not be treated as SC0610001 samples.

Some printed cells need care: sodium has no MCL value in the source; its typical-source phrase ends at “Leaching.” The radium and lead MCLG cells print “00.” The copper row prints one sample above the action level but also says “Exceeds AL: No.” Those differences are shown as printed, not resolved on this page. The lead typical-source cell continues from PDF page 4 onto page 5.

Lead and copper

Report notes
What the report does—and does not—say
The report prints a Violations and Exceedances heading with no entries beneath it. That is not a live check for notices or regulatory status.
Is a complete violation history available here?
No separate PWSID-bound violation, enforcement, waiver, or sanitary-survey history was accepted for this page. The empty heading on PDF page 5 is only a feature of the 2025 report; it cannot establish that no current violation or notice exists.

- MCLG
- MCLG: Maximum Contaminant Level Goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
- MCL
- MCL: Maximum Contaminant Level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
- TT
- TT: Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
- AL
- AL: Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow.
- Variances and Exemptions
- Variances and Exemptions: State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.
- MRDLG
- MRDLG: Maximum residual disinfection level goal. The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
- MRDL
- MRDL: Maximum residual disinfectant level. The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
- MNR
- MNR: Monitored Not Regulated
- MPL
- MPL: State Assigned Maximum Permissible Level
- 90th Percentile
- Compliance with the lead and copper action levels is based on the 90th percentile lead and copper levels. This means that the concentration of lead and copper must be less than or equal to the action level in at least 90% of the samples collected.
