NOTICE TO CONSUMERS

of the Town of Rich Creek Waterworks

Waterworks ID No. 1071700 

We have been advised by State health officials of a failure to perform required monitoring in accordance with the Commonwealth of Virginia/State Board of Health Waterworks Regulations.   

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During the monitoring period of August 2024, we did not monitor for total trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids and therefore, cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time. 

State health officials feel there is little need for concern about the safety of your water because past records show that our system has had no documented problems with total trihalomethanes and haloacetic acids contamination; however, routine sampling and analysis is required to determine the quality of water delivered to our customers. 

There is nothing you need to do at this time.    

We plan to collect the samples for analysis by August 2025.  

For more information, please contact: Mr. Richard Cox, Town Manager  P.O. Box 65, Rich Creek, VA 24147  (540) 726-3647
