What does “community water system” mean?

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. 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 Honeycutt Reserve?
EPA lists Honeycutt Reserve as owned by a local government. 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. 37 of the 206 active systems in Guilford County (18%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Honeycutt Reserve 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 2026. The violations listed here began between October 2025 and January 2026. By type: 10 monitoring and reporting, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminants or rules involved are Gross alpha (excluding radon and uranium), Revised Total Coliform Rule, Chlorine and 2,4,5-TP (Silvex). 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.
