Water summary
Atlanta overlaps more than one published public-water service area, so Water Around does not guess one provider. Check your utility bill to confirm who supplies your home.

This is the latest drought map in this publication, effective 2026-10-13; it is not a live report.
Fulton County, Georgia: 0% of county area in D1 or worse; 100% in D0 or worse. D0 means abnormally dry. On 2026-10-06, D1 or worse covered 0%.
County area shares at or above each severity: D2 0% · D3 0% · D4 0%. These cumulative percentages overlap and must not be added. County conditions do not describe every point in a city or a drinking-water restriction.

Drought, streams, rainfall & wells
Read each measure with its date. Rainfall, streams and groundwater can change at different rates.

Groundwater
Method developingMeasurements are available at nearby wells. An overall groundwater condition is not calculated from them.
5 nearby monitoring wellsYour public water system
EPA service areas overlap here. Check the listed systems against your utility bill.
Local compliance cacheA local summary of reported violations is not available here. When federal records are available, you can read them in the drinking-water section above. Neither source is a live test of water at your tap.
Your watershed
A watershed is the land area where rain and streams drain toward a shared outlet. It helps explain natural water conditions, but it may not match the area supplying your tap.
Below ground
Aquifers can supply water; monitoring wells measure water levels at individual sites. One well does not describe an entire aquifer or your household well.
Groundwater sources
The supply records do not name an aquifer. Groundwater may still be present.

Reading well data
A well’s water level does not tell us how much water an aquifer holds. Pumping totals alone do not show depletion, and a surface map does not show the aquifer’s full underground extent. To understand water quality in a private well, use tests from that well and local guidance.

These places share geography or comparable data. Their water conditions may differ.
Detailed testing and assessment records are not available here yet.We do not have enough information to show here yet. That does not tell us whether the water is in good or poor condition.
Waters around you
Nearby rivers and lakes from USGS maps. Proximity does not establish a drinking-water source, public access or shared water conditions.
Smaller streams may still be present. This catalog does not include every waterbody.
Where your water comes from
A water system is listed, but the available records do not identify its water sources.
