CRANBERRY WATER ASSOCIATION is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 99 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2009; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 39 entries between 1980 and 2008, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2008.

Of the 39, 34 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 synthetic organic chemicals, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
