ASHEVILLE CITY OF is among the 14 largest community water systems in North Carolina, serving 157,431 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2009 and 2019, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2019.
Of the 3, 2 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
