WATERWAYS is one of 2,163 community water systems in Virginia in the 500 or fewer people size category, formerly serving 150 people from groundwater.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2009; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 4 entries between 1993 and 2002, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2002.
Of the 4, 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 Total Coliform Rules, inorganic chemicals, and the Lead and Copper Rule.
