FOREST ACRES is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 99 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 9 entries in 1987, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1987.
All 9 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.
