Across Virginia, the 2,420 active systems average 3,122 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Town of Reedville is well below that figure.

Does Town of Reedville have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 10 violations for this system; 4 are health-based, and the most recent began in February 2026. The violations listed here began between August 1992 and February 2026. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 4 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 4 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
