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, 2023, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), chromium (total), fluoride and nitrate: EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from March 29, 2012 to July 28, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Above the health goal

0.15ppb

Highest yearly average, 2016 to 2017

Averaged by year, the highest was 0.15 ppb, in 2017: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. Its highest single sample was 0.21 ppb. That was also the latest year on file.

Below EPA’s limits

49ppb

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2019

2019, one sample: 29 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 49 ppb, in 2015, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 29 ppb.

21ppb

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2019

2019, one sample: 21 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 21 ppb, in 2018, below EPA’s legal limit of 60 ppb. In 2019, the latest year on file, its one sample was 21 ppb.

5 compounds tested and not foundBelow the reporting level in every sample. Not found is not the same as zero.
  • Arsenic
  • Chromium (total)
  • Fluoride
  • Lead
  • Nitrate

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. Arsenic results here are Virginia’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2023 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), chromium (total), fluoride and nitrate come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Clevengers Village’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 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from March 29, 2012 to July 28, 2019.

Testing your own tap

Clevengers Village’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.
