ALBANY is among the 19 largest community water systems in Georgia, serving 101,245 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries in 2017, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2017.
All 2 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
