ABEL LAKE WTP is one of 69 community water systems in Virginia in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 48,000 people from surface water.

EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2011; the record below is historical.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 34 entries between 2000 and 2010, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2010.

Of the 34, 32 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 the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
