AMHERST CO SERVICE AUTHORITY (ACSA) is one of 69 community water systems in Virginia in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 14,799 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1991 and 2021, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2021.
Of the 5, 3 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 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
