What the violations mean
Fluoride
36 incidentsFluoride exceeded the federal limit
Excessive fluoride can cause dental and skeletal fluorosis
Where the water comes from
Rescue Waterworks draws water from 2 wells.
Annual water quality report
Rescue Waterworks must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Rescue Waterworks for a copy.
Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search
Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Virginia.
Certified drinking water labs by state EPA guidance for private wells
