Water Treatment in Georgia

In Georgia, public water systems are regulated by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, and utilities must publish an annual water-quality report. Water hardness varies across Georgia, and many homes outside city systems use private wells that owners are responsible for testing. Private wells are not covered by those federal rules, so the EPA and CDC recommend testing your own water at least once a year. Match a filter, softener, or reverse-osmosis system to what your test shows.
