Water Quality Dashboard

This interactive digital map lets you explore and analyze geographic information about our drinking water. The map contains “layers” that you can turn on and off to control what is displayed. The Legend shows available layers and the values or information that each color in a layer corresponds to.

Each layer contains information that will show up on the map as colored areas. When you click on one of these, a box will pop up with more detailed information about that area for whatever layers you have turned on (e.g., the name of the water utility, number of people served by a well, etc.). Some will have links you can visit for additional information (e.g., annual water quality reports).

Public Water Systems– This layer shows the service areas covered by public drinking water systems throughout the state. You’ll notice that these do not always follow city or county boundaries. Some cities are served by multiple water service providers, and some water service providers serve multiple cities. The popups for this layer show the latest water quality report and PFAS testing data when available. We are working to add every municipality in North Carolina but there are cases where the report won’t be available. Unfortunately, not every city provides these reports publicly or they do not update them each year. If you have questions or wish to see your report added sooner than later, please reach out to Nathan Dunn (ncdunn@ncsu.edu). He will expedite the process for your municipality on request.

We know there is interest in other information about your water so we are intending to add additional layers on water bodies, private wells, and wastewater discharge.
