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. 1 health-based violation since 2016.

Fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Oct. 22, 2013 to Nov. 11, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

What this report can’t tell you

Everything else. Arsenic, nitrate 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. Fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Deal Apartments’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 Oct. 22, 2013 to Nov. 11, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Deal Apartments’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 Deal Apartments serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
