RICHWOOD WATER DEPT is one of 335 community water systems in West Virginia in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 2,480 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 96 entries between 2005 and 2026, of which 4 health-based items remain open, alongside 19 other open entries.

Of the 96, 64 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, synthetic organic chemicals, and volatile organic chemicals.
