Current status

1 item on record is open and awaiting resolution as of July 4, 2026. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings. Full details are in the violation history below.

Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed July 4, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace North Carolina’s official records. Always confirm current status with North Carolina before making decisions based on this information.
