How does River Bend Marina compare with other water systems in Craven County?
By EPA's size categories, River Bend Marina is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Craven County has 15 active public water systems.

Across North Carolina, the 5,087 active systems average 1,971 people each. Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so River Bend Marina is about half of that figure.
