Consumer Confidence Report status
STAFFORD COUNTY UTILITIES must publish a Consumer Confidence Report — the annual drinking water quality report covering calendar year 2026 — by July 1, 2027.
As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for STAFFORD COUNTY UTILITIES.
Data sourced from the EPA ECHO database (SDWA bulk download), last refreshed August 1, 2026. This is a record-keeping and public-information tool — it does not replace Virginia’s official records. Always confirm current status with Virginia before making decisions based on this information.

STAFFORD COUNTY UTILITIES is among the 19 largest community water systems in Virginia, serving 123,684 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 62 entries between 1980 and 2016, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2016.
Of the 62, 61 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 volatile organic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and synthetic organic chemicals.
