POWDER HORN MOUNTAIN is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 548 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 37 entries between 1987 and 2006, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2006.

All 37 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 volatile organic chemicals, synthetic organic chemicals, and inorganic chemicals.

It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
