What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. North Carolina has 2,031 active community water systems, 40% of the state's 5,087 active systems. Purchased surface water means the system buys surface water from another public water system rather than drawing its own. 331 North Carolina systems (6.5%) list purchased surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates High Vista Estates?

Does High Vista Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in July 2024. The violations listed here began between April 1991 and July 2024. By type: 5 contaminant level above the legal limit, 4 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 2 monitoring and reporting and 1 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Haloacetic acids (HAA5) (4 of them). EPA lists 9 as resolved and 3 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.
