Source: From the 2024 Annual Water Quality Report " The City of Milledgeville, PWS ID #0090001, located in Milledgeville, GA, withdraws raw, surface water from intake sites on the Oconee River. Two treatment plants, the Lamar F. Ham Plant, and the James E. Baugh Plant, perform the treatment of the raw water. The Lamar F. Ham Plant has a permitted treatment capacity of 8.64MGD and was constructed in 1953. The second plant, the James E. Baugh Plant, has a treatment capacity of 3.88MGD. It was purchased from the State in 1994. Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where pretreatment chemicals are added to assist with the treatment process of coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. Additional chemicals are added as post treatment for corrosion control, pH, fluoridation, and chlorination. The water plant is staffed with certified operators and lab analysts. The laboratory is state approved. Regular checks are performed on the water being treated to ensure that the finished product meets all State and Federal regulations. After treatment at the plants, the finished water is fed to the distribution lines and finally to your home or business. The process begins by pumping untreated water from the river into sedimentation basins where large particles are removed, and the water is disinfected. The water is directed to a process called flocculation which is a gentle mixing of the water with a coagulant. This allows particles, called “floc,” to form and settle, clarifying the water. Next the water is put through a filtration system where water flows through conventional filters trapping even smaller particles. After filtration, chemicals are added for final disinfection. Except for chlorine and fluoride, every chemical used in the treatment process is removed before the finished water is distributed to you. "

Violations and Non-Compliance History

*Note that drinking water information provided on this site is aggregated from the federal EPA database, state resources and local government sources where available.
EPA publishes violation and enforcement data quarterly, based on the inspection reports of the previous quarter. Water systems, states and EPA take up to three months to verify this data is accurate and complete.
Specific questions about your local water supply should be directed to the facility.
The EPA safe drinking water facilities data available to the public presents what is known to the government based upon the most recently available information for more than one million regulated facilities. EPA and states inspect a percentage of facilities each year, but many facilities, particularly smaller ones, may not have received a recent inspection. It is possible that facilities do have violations that have not yet been discovered, thus are shown as compliant in the system.
EPA cannot positively state that facilities without violations shown in ECHO are necessarily fully compliant with environmental laws. Additionally, some violations at smaller facilities do not need to be reported from the states to EPA. If ECHO shows a recent inspection and the facility is shown with no violations identified, users of the ECHO site can be more confident that the facility is in compliance with federal programs.
The compliance status of smaller facilities that have not had recent inspections or review by EPA or the states may be unknown or only available via state data systems.
