Reports show drinking water in all service areas meets quality standards

ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Virginia American Water announced today that its most recent Water Quality Reports are now available on its website for all service areas. The company is proud to report that once again, the drinking water provided to the 384,000 customers across the Commonwealth meets or surpasses both state and federal water quality standards for all regulated substances, including lead.

"At Virginia American Water, our mission is to provide safe, clean, reliable, and affordable water to our customers," said Laura Runkle, President, Virginia American Water. "Our annual reports provide customers with information about the quality of their water, the water source(s) for the system and information on the importance of protecting our drinking water sources."

Annual water quality reports, also known as "consumer confidence reports," detail the quality of water that the company provides to its customers using data collected from water quality testing in its local systems in the previous year, most recently between January and December 2025. They highlight the compounds detected in treated drinking water in comparison to the compliance standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and enforced by Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.

Virginia American Water routinely meets or surpasses the strict water quality standards and has not received a drinking water Notice of Violation in the past 17 years. To enhance education and transparency, the reports also include results of tests conducted on certain unregulated compounds in areas where they are present.

Runkle added, "We take pride in the work our team does every day to deliver high-quality water service. Our water quality reports are one more way we demonstrate our commitment to our customers."

Customers can access the water quality report specific to their area by visiting https://amwater.com/vaaw/Water-Quality/Water-Quality-Reports and searching by zip code. Printed copies of the report are also available to customers who do not wish to access it online.
