Nothing here is flagged for attention.
That covers what has been measured and assessed — not what hasn't. One thing could not be determined from the record.
What EPA and state records show about this community water system — compliance, PFAS testing, lead sampling, and where its water comes from. Serving about 18,542 people in Duplin County.
Records can lag by up to a quarter, and they don't cover your home's own plumbing.

Lead: latest 90th-percentile result 0 ppb — below the 10 ppb action level (sampled 2025-12-31, 4 results in the 10-year window).
The 90th-percentile result means 9 out of 10 sampled homes were at or below this level. It measures the water system's corrosion control — it cannot tell you whether your own home's plumbing adds lead. Results older than 10 years, future-dated compliance periods, and physically implausible values are excluded.
29 PFAS compounds tested under EPA's UCMR5 program; 0 detected.
UCMR5 sampling (2023–2026) at entry points to the distribution system. 'Not detected' means below the reporting limit (~4 ppt for PFOA/PFOS), not zero. A result above a future MCL is not a violation today — compliance deadlines are 2029 (2031 extension proposed).

No health-based violations on record since 2021. Records can lag by up to a quarter, and they don't cover building plumbing.
Yes — 29 PFAS compounds under EPA's UCMR5 program, with 0 detected. Samples are taken at entry points to the distribution system — treated water, not source water.

Records lag their agencies' refresh cycles — a recent change may not appear yet. Absence from a dataset is absence of a record, never evidence that water is clean.
