The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and CDC’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Lead and copper: lead at 0.3 mg/L (1994) is left out of this report: more than 20 times the action level, it looks like µg/L entered as mg/L.

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 2.2 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2009. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Arsenic, haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium: North Carolina’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from June 25, 2013 to June 12, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

None of the contaminants in the records below were found at or above the reporting levels.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There is 1 monitoring or reporting violation: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic, haloacetic acids (HAA5), nitrate, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and uranium results here are North Carolina’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Cedar Creek Woods’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.

  • Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.

  • What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.

  • Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for North Carolina cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from June 25, 2013 to June 12, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Cedar Creek Woods’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab North Carolina certifies.

No lab North Carolina certifies is within 75 miles of the area Cedar Creek Woods serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
