By EPA's size categories, Carolantic Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Orange County has 67 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 1,773 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 118,767 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Carolantic Park is well below that figure.

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 Carolantic Park?

Does Carolantic Park have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in January 2022. The violations listed here began between July 2015 and January 2022. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 monitoring and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (2 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 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.
