The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and CDC’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Arsenic: Virginia’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2021.

Nitrate, fluoride and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from Aug. 1, 2012 to Aug. 28, 2018. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

Below EPA’s limits2

Nitrate

Comes from the source

Below EPA’s limits

4.3ppm

One sample

2018, one sample: 4.3 ppm

The highest sample, in 2018, was 4.3 ppm, below EPA’s legal limit of 10 ppm. That is the only year on file, and its one sample was 4.3 ppm.

What handles it

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

Fluoride

Forms or is added in treatment

Below EPA’s limits

0.07ppm

Highest yearly average, 2012 to 2018

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. 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, fluoride and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Ridgeview 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 2021; EPA’s compliance samples are from Aug. 1, 2012 to Aug. 28, 2018.

Testing your own tap

Ridgeview 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.

No lab Virginia certifies is within 75 miles of the area Ridgeview Village 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.
