About this data
Water systems are matched to Chatham County, the county this ZIP code lies in, largest first. Your exact provider depends on your address and connection; the largest community water system in a county is usually the city or town utility.
ZIP code areas and town boundaries come from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 ZCTA files.

The North Carolina records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
