CHATHAM CO-E CHATHAM is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 866 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2007; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 20 entries between 1991 and 2005, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2005.

Of the 20, 12 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
