PLYMOUTH WATER SYSTEM is one of 749 community water systems in North Carolina in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 3,243 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 36 entries between 2005 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 36, 28 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
