SEA SCAPE is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 60 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1993 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 5, 2 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 Consumer Confidence Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and synthetic organic chemicals.
