Dekalb County

As water moves across land or seeps through soil, it naturally absorbs minerals, radioactive materials, and substances from animal and human activities. Our water comes from two primary sources: surface water (rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs) and groundwater (springs and wells). Bottled water typically originates from springs, wells, and public water systems, with FDA regulations establishing safety limits for contaminants.

DeKalb County sources its water from the Chattahoochee River, a surface water supply. While some minerals in water are beneficial, the Safe Drinking Water Act—enforced by EPA and EPD—sets strict limitations on certain contaminants in public water systems. To ensure compliance and monitor water quality, DeKalb County collects and analyzes over 250 water samples monthly throughout the distribution network.
