MOORE CO PUBLIC UTIL-VASS is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,862 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 11 entries between 1980 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

The record involves inorganic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and synthetic organic chemicals.
