BISHOP is one of 391 community water systems in Virginia in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 981 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1977; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 33 entries between 1980 and 1995, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1995.
Of the 33, 26 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 inorganic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and synthetic organic chemicals.
