FAIRFAX, CITY OF is one of 69 community water systems in Virginia in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, formerly serving 24,000 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 2014; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 5 entries between 1977 and 2007, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2007.
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 Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule, the Total Coliform Rules, and the Surface Water Treatment Rules.
