HICKORY RIDGE S/D is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 178 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2002 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.
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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and inorganic chemicals.
