MOUNTAIN AIR is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 664 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 2003 and 2011, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2011.
Of the 5, 1 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, the Consumer Confidence Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
