Living in Epworth, GA: what to set up and who to call

Epworth has no town government of its own, so Fannin County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Fannin County School District. Tap water in Epworth comes from the Mccaysville water system, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 20% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Drinking water · reported to EPA

Water comes from Mccaysville water system

The Mccaysville water system supplies Epworth: about 96% of residents live in its service area. About 4% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It draws surface water (EPA lists Blue Ridge Water System as seller) and serves 7,020 people in all.

No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.

Lead, 90th percentile0.0 ppb
015 ppb action level20

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.

The system’s full record: EPA ECHO report

EPA SDWIS via Envirofacts (violations pulled Oct 9, 2026) and ECHO (lead samples, 2026Q3); service area: EPA Community Water System Service Area Boundaries v3.0 (EPA’s estimate). Violations are counted by the start of their compliance period. GA1110001.
