The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Uranium, above the legal limit. 12 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 5.5 ppm, for the period ending June 30, 1994. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.
Uranium and arsenic: Virginia’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2021 to 2022, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.
Nitrate, chromium (total) and fluoride: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Sept. 19, 2012 to July 8, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.
Above the legal limit1
Uranium
Comes from the source
105ppb
Highest yearly average, 2021
Averaged by year, the highest was 105 ppb, in 2021, about 3.5 times EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb. That is the only year on file. EPA recorded violations for uranium at this utility in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 24.8 ppb, in 2019.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Uranium”
Below EPA’s limits1
Nitrate
Comes from the source
2.2ppm
Highest sample; found in 8 of 8
2019, one sample: 2.2 ppm
The highest sample, in 2019, was 2.2 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and its one sample was 2.2 ppm.
What handles it
- NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
- NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”
4 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
- Arsenic
- Chromium (total)
- Fluoride
- Lead
What handles it
A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

At the tap, or for the whole house?
These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.
Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing
None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Uranium and arsenic results here are Virginia’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2021 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Nitrate, chromium (total) and fluoride come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Azzie Manor Home for Adults’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 Virginia cover 2021 to 2022; EPA’s compliance samples are from Sept. 19, 2012 to July 8, 2019.
Testing your own tap
No lab Virginia certifies is within 75 miles of the area Azzie Manor Home for Adults serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
Virginia Household Water Quality Program, Virginia Cooperative Extension: Drinking water clinics in about 70 counties a year, run through local Extension offices: pick up a kit, collect the sample on the set day, and drop it off locally. Each kit tests well, spring or cistern water for 28 things, including bacteria, nitrate, lead and arsenic. $70 a kit, with funding to help if you need it. Virginia Household Water Quality Program.
