The 2024 Consumer Confidence Report for drinking water quality is now available. It is a snapshot of the city’s drinking water quality over the past year. Included is information about your water, what it contains and how it compares with standards mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). 

The City of Richmond Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is proud to report that during 2024 we were in 100% compliance with all federal and state Safe Drinking Water Act MCLs (Maximum Contaminant Levels). Last year DPU conducted over 63,000 tests on more than 15,000 water samples. The table lists all the substances that were detected in our drinking water during 2024. The presence of these substances in water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted data presented in this table is from testing performed January 1 through December 31, 2024.
