SANTEETLAH SHORES is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 58 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 34 entries between 1980 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.

Of the 34, 29 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
