3 open treatment violations.

Open for: Revised Total Coliform Rule. EPA counts treatment-technique violations as health-based: a required protective step was not done. It is not a measurement of contamination.

On record since 2002: 15 violations. 5 treatment lapses · 1 missed or late test · 9 notices or reports. Most recent began 2024-11-03.

None of them is a measurement of contaminated water.

For this year's test results, ask the utility for its annual Consumer Confidence Report. Every community system must publish one.

More violations on record than 83% of active water systems in North Carolina. Small systems with no staff chemist often rack up missed-test violations; big utilities rarely do.

What you can do

  • Total Coliform Bacteria: If your water system has coliform violations, consider boiling water or using bottled water until the system confirms the issue is resolved. Contact your water provider for their latest test results and any boil-water advisories.

Reading this record

Wilkes Skyline Marina is a transient non-community that draws from groundwater and serves about 127 people in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. Everything above comes from the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), where states report every violation by every public water system.

Four kinds of violation. Only one is a measurement of the water: over the limit means a test came back above a legal maximum (an MCL). A treatment lapse means a required protective step was not done, such as disinfection, filtration, fixing a defect an inspector found, or filing a lead-pipe inventory. A missed or late test means a required test was skipped or never reported. That is the most common kind, and the most misread: it does not mean the water was bad, and it does not mean the water was fine. Notices and reports covers public notices and the annual Consumer Confidence Report.

Status. “Back in compliance” means the state recorded a return to compliance. “Period ended” means the violation's compliance period is over but no return to compliance was ever filed, which is common in older records. EPA's federal copy lags state records by months, so call the utility for anything current.
