RIDGE TOWNHOUSE APARTMENTS is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 250 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1998; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 1985 and 1994, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1994.

Of the 15, 14 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 inorganic chemicals, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
