Record-only indicator: B
Not a safety rating. Missing or old measurements can produce a high score.
Coverage: 0/1 mapped systems have a dated lead result; 0/1 have copper results; 1/1 have UCMR monitoring.
UCMR5 occurrence results are screening information, not a finding of regulatory compliance or noncompliance. PFAS rules and compliance dates are evolving.

Public-record summary
Record-only indicator — incomplete or old records can produce a high score. A score of 100 is not a safety finding. Coverage: 0/1 mapped systems have a dated lead result; 0/1 have copper results; 1/1 have UCMR monitoring. Tap water quality in Griffin, Georgia (30223) receives an record-only indicator of B (Moderate-low record-based concern) with a score of 74 out of 100, based on analysis of EPA compliance data, contaminant testing, and violation history. This is 16 points below the Georgia state average of 90. The area is served by Spalding County Water System, a surface water system providing water to approximately 40,430 people.

Common Questions
The record-only indicator is B (74/100). It cannot determine whether your tap water is safe. Missing, bounded or old measurements can produce a high score. Check the coverage and sampling dates below and your utility's current notices.
ZIP code 30223 is served by 1 water system using surface water sources, providing water to approximately 40,430 people. Surface water systems are more susceptible to contamination from agricultural runoff, industrial discharge, and weather events, but typically undergo more extensive treatment including filtration and disinfection.
No dated lead result was found for these mapped systems in the published dataset. This does not establish that lead is absent. Ask your utility for its current report and testing options.
Yes — 9 PFAS compounds were detected in records associated with water serving Griffin, Georgia, and 3 results exceeded the numerical EPA MCL value used for comparison. UCMR5 occurrence results alone are not a regulatory compliance determination. PFAS rules and compliance timelines are evolving; verify current information with the utility and EPA.
Water systems serving Griffin, Georgia have received 2 violations in the last 5 years. Violations can range from paperwork issues (monitoring & reporting) to serious health-based violations where contaminant levels exceeded safe limits. Review the violation details above for specifics.
