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

North Carolina has 2,745 active transient non-community water systems, 54% 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 Pine Lake Campground?

Does Pine Lake Campground have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, none is health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between July 2015 and February 2026. By type: 7 monitoring, 2 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Revised Total Coliform Rule (8 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.
