Analysis

North Carolina water quality overview

North Carolina's drinking water quality is fair overall, with a state average score of 68.6 out of 100 — 5.6 points below the national average of 74.2. The median city score is 75.3, reflecting how water quality is distributed across the state's 417 ranked cities. The state shows a mixed picture: 80 cities earned an A grade while 67 cities received an F. The majority fall in the B–C range. PFAS "forever chemicals" were detected in 135 of 417 cities (32%). Of those, 91 cities exceed the 2024 EPA maximum contaminant levels — a health concern requiring action. 7 cities have lead levels exceeding the EPA action level of 15 ppb, typically a sign of aging lead service lines or lead solder in older plumbing. Residents in these areas should use an NSF 53-certified filter. 362 cities have recorded health-based violations with the EPA — meaning contaminant levels exceeded safe limits or required testing was missed. Use the table below to find your city's specific record.
