The 2025 Consumer Confidence Report is now available
The 2025 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 2025 we were in 100% compliance with all federal and state Safe Drinking Water Act MCLs (Maximum Contaminant Levels). Last year DPU conducted over 55,000 tests on more than 14,000 water samples. The table lists all the substances that were detected in our drinking water during 2025. The presence of these substances in water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing performed January 1 through December 31, 2025.
