Can You Drink Tap Water in Dalton?
Yes, Dalton's tap water is generally considered safe to drink as Dalton has no active health based violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) that we are aware of. Other factors such as lead piping in a home, or low levels of pollutants on immunocompromised individuals, should also be considered, however. To find more recent info we might have, you can check out our boil water notice page, the city's water provider website, or Dalton's local Twitter account.
According the EPA’s ECHO database, from April 30, 2019 to June 30, 2022, Dalton's water utility, Dalton Utilities, had 0 violations of the Safe Drinking Water Act. For more details on the violations, please see our violation history section below. The last violation for Dalton was resolved on Dec. 31, 2011. This assessment is based on the Dalton Utilities water system, other water systems in the city may have different results.
While tap water that meets the EPA health guidelines generally won’t make you sick to your stomach, it can still contain regulated and unregulated contaminants present in trace amounts that could potentially cause health issues over the long-run. These trace contaminants may also impact immunocompromised and vulnerable individuals.
The EPA is reviewing if it’s current regulations around pollutant levels in tap water are strict enough, and the health dangers posed by unregulated pollutants, like PFAS.
Water Quality Report for Dalton Tap Water
The most recent publicly available numbers for measured contaminant levels in Dalton tap water are in its 2020 Water Quality Report. As you can see, there are levels which the EPA considers to be acceptable, but being below the maximum allowable level doesn’t necessarily mean the water is healthy.
Lead in tap water, for example, is currently allowed at up to 15ppb by the EPA, but it has set the ideal goal for lead at zero. This highlights how meeting EPA standards doesn’t necessarily mean local tap water is healthy.
EPA regulations continue to change as it evaluates the long term impacts of chemicals and updates drinking water acceptable levels. The rules around arsenic, as well as, lead and copper are currently being re-evaluated.
There are also a number of "emerging" contaminants that are not currently. For example, PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), for which the EPA has issued a health advisory. PFAS are called "forever chemicals" since they tend not to break down in the environment or the human body and can accumulate over time.
We recommend looking at the contaminants present in Dalton's water quality reports, or getting your home's tap water tested to see if you should be filtering your water.
Dalton Tap Water Safe Drinking Water Act Violation History - Prior 10 Years
Below is a ten year history of violations for the water system named Dalton Utilities for Dalton in Georgia. For more details please see the "What do these Violations Mean?" section below.
For the compliance period beginning July 1, 2011, Dalton had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Other Violation, more specifically, the violation code was Consumer Confidence Report Complete Failure to Report which falls into the Other rule code group, and the Consumer Confidence Rule rule code family for the following contaminant code: Consumer Confidence Rule.
From Jan. 1, 2011 to Dec. 31, 2011, Dalton had 1 non-health based Safe Drinking Water Act violation with the violation category being Monitoring and Reporting, more specifically, the violation code was Monitoring, Regular which falls into the Chemicals rule code group, and the Inorganic Chemicals rule code family for the following contaminant code: Nitrate-Nitrite.
Is there Lead in Dalton Water?
Based on the EPA’s ECHO Database, 90% of the samples taken from the Dalton water system, Dalton Utilities, between sample start date and sample end date, were at or below, 0.0 mg/L of lead in Dalton water. This is 0% of the 0.015 mg/L action level. This means 10% of the samples taken from Dalton contained more lead.
While Dalton water testing may have found 0.0 mg/L of lead in its water, that does not mean your water source has the same amount. The amount of lead in water in a city can vary greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood, or even building to building. Many buildings, particularly older ones, have lead pipes or service lines which can be a source of contamination. To find out if your home has lead, we recommend getting you water tested.
No amount of lead in water is healthy, only less dangerous. As lead accumulates in our bodies over time, even exposure to relatively small amounts can have negative health effects. For more information, please check out our Lead FAQ page.
Are there PFAS in Dalton Tap Water?
Currently, testing tap water for PFAS isn’t mandated on a national level. We do have a list of military bases where there have been suspected or confirmed leaks. There appears to be at least one military base - Lovell Field - near Dalton with suspected leaks.
With many potential sources of PFAS in tap water across the US, the best information we currently have about which cities have PFAS in their water is this ewg map, which you can check to see if Dalton has been evaluated for yet.
Our stance is better safe than sorry, and that it makes sense to try to purify the tap water just in case.

Dalton Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report)
The EPA mandates that towns and cities consistently monitor and test their tap water. They must report their findings in an annual Consumer Confidence Report. Below is the most recent water quality report from Dalton's Water. If you would like to see the original version of the report, please click here.

Water Quality Report
Hamilton Mountain water tanks with Haig Mill Lake in the background - Dalton, Georgia
Dalton Utilities’ 2020 Water Quality Report is designed to inform you about your drinking water. Information is included to give the sources of the drinking water, to explain the steps we take to ensure the quality of the water, and to show the results of year-round water monitoring.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems and requires significant testing for these contaminants. Bottled water is regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) who establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water but does not require the same amount of testing for contaminants as required for tap water. Consequently, the tap water you receive from Dalton Utilities has met much more stringent testing requirements than the bottled water you purchase at a much higher price.
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Fluoride, for example, is added to the water to help promote good dental health. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at (800) 426-4791 or visiting their website at www.epa.gov/safewater.
This report contains water system data collected January 1 - December 31, 2020. WS ID# GA 3130000
Keeping Your Water Safe
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water:
- Microbial - such as viruses and bacteria which may come from septic systems, sewage treatment plants, agricultural and/or livestock operations or wildlife sources.
- Inorganic - such as salts and metals, can occur naturally or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.
- Pesticides and herbicides - may come from agricultural operations, stormwater runoff and residential use.
-
Organic chemicals – including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals that are
by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems, as well as products like pharmaceuticals, hormones, cleaning supplies and other household products. - Radioactive materials - can be naturally occurring or the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Where Does Our Water Come From?
Dalton Utilities uses both surface and ground water in our system. Our most recent Source Water Assessment found the susceptibility of Dalton Utilities’ drinking water sources to be LOW to MEDIUM. Water sources are rated on their susceptibility to pollution, such as proximity to major roadways, railways and agricultural runoff.
Dalton Utilities’ drinking water is produced from the following sources:
- Surface water from the Conasauga River and Coahulla Creek, located in the Dawnville community, and groundwater from Freeman Springs, located in West Whitfield County, were all rated as having LOW susceptibility to pollution.
- Surface water from Mill Creek, located in the City of Dalton, was rated as having LOW to MEDIUM susceptibility to pollution because of proximity to a railroad and major thoroughfares.
-
Dalton Utilities purchased water from Eastside Utilities, Catoosa Utilities and Chatsworth Water Commission. To obtain copies/information on water quality reports and/or source water assessments conducted by these water providers, please contact Dalton Utilities at (706)
278-1313.
Important Health Information:
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Required Lead Information:
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Dalton Utilities is responsible for providing high quality drinking water but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to two minutes before using the water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800)

*2018 results. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division only requires Dalton Utilities to monitor lead and copper levels every 3 years. **All lead and copper samples taken from Dalton Utilities’ distribution system met EPA standards.
Definitions and Abbreviations:
AL - Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers a treatment or other requirement that a water system must follow.
EPA – Environmental Protection Agency: Federal agency
EPD – Environmental Protection Division: State agency
MCL - Maximum contaminant level: The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. The MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
MCLG - Maximum contaminant level goal: The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MRDL – Maximum residual disinfectant level: The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
MRDLG – Maximum residual disinfectant level goal: The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
ND – Nondetect
NTU – Nephelometric turbidity units: a measure of turbidity or cloudiness of water.
PPB – Parts per billion (same as micrograms per liter): One part per billion is equivalent to one minute in 2,000 years or one penny in $10 million.
PPM – Parts per million (same as milligrams per liter): One part per million is equivalent to one minute in 2 years or one penny in $10,000.
THAA – Total Haloacetic Acids: A by-product of disinfection by chlorination.
- - Treatment Technique: A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. In some cases, the EPA has determined that requiring a certain treatment technique, such as requiring filtration for controlling dangerous organisms, is more effective than setting an MCL.
TTHM – Total Trihalomethanes: A by-product of disinfection by chlorination.
Waiver: State permission not to monitor for a particular parameter for a specified period, based on chemical analytical results and a vulnerability assessment, prepared by the EPD, demonstrating that the water systems’ distributed water contains none of the substance(s) being tested for, or the substance is at a concentration less than the detection limit specified by the state rule.
