Is WINDER's water safe to drink?

WINDER has a health-based violation on record, but none in the last five years - an older issue, not necessarily a current one. 51,540 people get their water from it, across 18,579 connections.

Ranked against every other system in this dataset

10 total violations and 1 health-based ones put WINDER at the 36th percentile nationally for violation burden, rank 8,205 of 12,903.

Against the GA average

GA's 312 covered systems average 3.5 health-based violations each; WINDER carries 1, not more than typical for the state. See the lead and copper guide for why lead counts differently.

Most recent violation on record

The concern categories on record

WINDER's flagged contaminants and rule violations, grouped by what they actually mean for a filter choice rather than left as EPA's raw code list:

• Disinfection byproducts - flagged from: Total Haloacetic Acids (HAA5)

The most severe category on record is disinfection byproducts, which points toward a carbon-class filter if you want to address it directly.

What WINDER's record does not cover

This is what WINDER reported to its state primacy agency and EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act - real regulatory record, not a lab test of your specific tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 10 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
