How does River Park compare with other water systems in Clarke County?
By EPA's size categories, River Park is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Clarke County has 20 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 421 people per system, and accounts for 1.2% of the 8,414 people reported by systems filed under the county. 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 River Park is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Virginia has 844 active community water systems, 35% 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.
Who owns and regulates River Park?
EPA lists River Park as privately owned. 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. 16 of the 20 active systems in Clarke County (80%) are also privately owned.
Does River Park have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in April 2025. The violations listed here began between November 1983 and April 2025. By type: 8 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 required treatment not met. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Lead and Copper Rule (5 of them). EPA lists 7 as resolved and 5 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. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
