POOR VALLEY is one of 2,163 community water systems in Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 163 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 1979 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.
Of the 3, 2 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Consumer Confidence Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and inorganic chemicals.
