System facts

System ID (PWSID): NC0377109
System type: Community Water System
Population served: 22,578
Service connections: 9,031

Water source: surface water (rivers, lakes, or reservoirs)

RICHMOND COUNTY WATER SYSTEM is one of 150 community water systems in North Carolina in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 22,578 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 26 entries between 1993 and 2022, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2022.

The record involves the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
