Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 4,566 North Carolina systems (90%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Archdale/Tryon MHP?
EPA lists Archdale/Tryon MHP as privately owned. The NC state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 225 of the 247 active systems in Gaston County (91%) are also privately owned.
Does Archdale/Tryon MHP have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2020. The violations listed here began between March 1994 and January 2020. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved and 2 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
