BROAD RIVER WATER AUTHORITY is one of 150 community water systems in North Carolina in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 18,242 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1990 and 2009, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2009.
Of the 10, 8 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 and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
