Virginia has 443 active non-transient non-community water systems, 18% of the state's 2,420 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,089 Virginia systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.

The VA state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 19 active systems in Orange County (42%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Lightfoot Elem School have drinking water violations?
EPA's records list 11 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in June 2022. The violations listed here began between June 1979 and June 2022. By type: 6 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them).
