Augusta Aiken, GA, October 22, 2026 —

The Thomson-McDuffie water system in Georgia has continued to exceed federal limits for trihalomethanes (TTHMs), according to the information provided. The repeated violations have persisted despite an enforcement order and settlement involving the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, or EPD.

Required upgrades to the system are reportedly delayed. The available information does not specify what improvements are required, when they were due, or how long the delays have lasted. It also does not explain why the violations continued after the enforcement action and settlement.

Details about the extent of the exceedances were not provided. The dates of the violations, measured TTHM levels, number of affected tests, and locations served by the system are not specified. The information also does not state the terms of the EPD order or settlement, whether the agency has taken further action, or whether the system has reported a schedule for completing the upgrades.

The available summary does not identify the system’s representatives or include comments from the Georgia EPD. It also does not provide information about any notices to customers or steps taken while upgrades remain delayed.

The reported pattern is that federal limits for TTHMs have been exceeded repeatedly, while required system upgrades have not been completed on the expected timeline. Without dates, test results, order terms, or an explanation from the system or regulators, the scope and current status of the violations and upgrades remain unclear.
