The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Arsenic: Virginia’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2022.

Uranium, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Feb. 15, 2012 to Jan. 17, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal1

Uranium

Comes from the source

Above the health goal

1.1ppb

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

2018, one sample: 1.0 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 1.1 ppb, in 2017: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 1.2 ppb. In 2018, the latest year on file, its one sample was 1.0 ppb.

What handles it

Below EPA’s limits4

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

1.5ppm

Highest sample; found in 8 of 8

2019, one sample: 1.5 ppm

The highest sample, in 2019, was 1.5 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That was also the latest year on file, and its one sample was 1.5 ppm.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Nitrate/Nitrite (30 ppm challenge)”

Haloacetic acids (HAA5)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

2.5ppb

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2018

2018: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 2.5 ppb, in 2016, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. Its highest single sample was 2.5 ppb. In 2018, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.09ppm

Highest yearly average, 2014 to 2017

2017, one sample: 0.05 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.09 ppm, in 2014, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2017, the latest year on file, its one sample was 0.05 ppm.

What handles it

Total trihalomethanes (TTHM)

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.81ppb

Highest yearly average, 2013 to 2018

2018: not found

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.81 ppb, in 2013, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2018, the latest year on file, it wasn’t found in its one sample.

What handles it

  • NSF/ANSI 53 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
  • NSF/ANSI 58 look for “Trihalomethanes (TTHM) Reduction”
3 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)
  • 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.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 3 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Arsenic results here are Virginia’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2022 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, total trihalomethanes (TTHM) and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Baileys Mobile Home Park’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 2022; EPA’s compliance samples are from Feb. 15, 2012 to Jan. 17, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Baileys Mobile Home Park’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab Virginia certifies.

No lab Virginia certifies is within 75 miles of the area Baileys Mobile Home Park 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.
