RICHWOOD ACRES is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 102 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1986 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 3, 1 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule.
