RAPPAHANNOCK WESTMINSTER CANTERBURY is one of 2,163 community water systems in Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 461 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 2003 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 10, 5 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 Total Coliform Rules, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Groundwater Rule.
