How does Hillsborough Ucc compare with other water systems in Orange County?

By EPA's size categories, Hillsborough Ucc 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. Across North Carolina, the 5,087 active systems average 1,971 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Hillsborough Ucc is well below that figure.

What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?

A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. North Carolina has 311 active non-transient non-community water systems, 6.1% of the state's 5,087 active systems. 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 Hillsborough Ucc?

EPA lists Hillsborough Ucc 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. 61 of the 67 active systems in Orange County (91%) are also privately owned.

Does Hillsborough Ucc have drinking water violations?

Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in July 2025. The violations listed here began between April 2013 and July 2025. By type: 11 monitoring and reporting and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (4 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.
