AMHERST S/D is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 325 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1988 and 2006, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2006.
Of the 10, 8 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 and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
