DARE CO-CAPE HATTERAS WATER is one of 179 community water systems in North Carolina in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 5,486 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2003 and 2012, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2012.
None of the 3 are monitoring or reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset; these involve water-quality, treatment, or public-notice findings instead. The record involves the Consumer Confidence Rule, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
