GATESVILLE WATER SYSTEM is one of 4,942 community water systems in North Carolina in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 445 people from groundwater.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2013; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 16 entries between 1980 and 2013, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2013.
