North Carolina has 2,745 active transient non-community water systems, 54% of the state's 5,087 active systems.

Does Hiawatha Trailer 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 October 2020. The violations listed here began between June 1980 and October 2020. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 monitoring and 1 public notice, recordkeeping or other. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Mercury (2 of them). EPA lists 9 as archived and 3 as resolved. 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. 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.
