BUFFALO CREEK S/D is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 721 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 7 entries between 2004 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.
Of the 7, 3 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
