To comply with the Clean Water Act (CWA), the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) monitors the quality of our local waterways. Through regular Water Quality Assessment protocols, they determine if our water meets standards for recreation, fishing, and other uses.

When water quality falls short, DEQ identifies specific problem areas, concerns, and potential contamination sources. Over time, DEQ collaborates with state and federal agencies to implement restoration programs for these affected waterways.

The City of Danville has enacted both the Urban Stormwater Quality Management and Discharge Control Ordinance and the Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance to guide residents, businesses, and contractors in protecting our environment. However, public awareness remains crucial - the City cannot address these issues alone!

If you reside in an area that drains to impaired waters, please be mindful of your daily activities. Every resident can help reduce environmental impact and improve our local water quality through responsible practices.

City of Danville Municipal Water Report Information

About the City Overview: Colonial Heights, located in southeastern Virginia, was originally part of Chesterfield County before becoming a town in 1926 and an incorporated city in 1948. Its current charter as a fully independent city was granted in 1960. The city's history extends much further back, having been the site of significant battles during both the American Revolution and Civil War.

The name "Colonial Heights" originated from an incident during the Revolutionary War. In 1781, French troops under Lafayette, known as the Colonials, established artillery positions on heights overlooking the Appomattox River and Petersburg, where British forces were stationed. According to legend, a British soldier in Petersburg spotted Lafayette's troops across the river and exclaimed, "Look! There are the Colonials, up on the Heights!" - thus giving the area its name.

Early inhabitants of the region were members of the Algonquin Indian tribe who traveled along the Appomattox River. Several areas in present-day Colonial Heights still retain their original Indian names. English settlers first arrived in 1620, approximately two weeks before the Plymouth, Massachusetts settlement. A small group navigated up the Appomattox searching for viable land and eventually settled in "Conjurer's Field," named by indigenous people after one of their shamans.

During 1677-1685, one of the area's historic landmarks was constructed - the Brick House, now considered Colonial Heights' oldest permanent structure. One wall of this building survived a devastating fire in 1879.

The first documented settlement in Colonial Heights was established by Thomas Shore, who purchased 144 acres along the northern bank of the Appomattox River in 1775. He built his manor there and named it Violet Bank. Later, during the Civil War in 1864, this property became headquarters for General Robert E. Lee during the siege of Petersburg from June through September. Today, Violet Bank is owned by the City and serves as a Civil War museum and registered Virginia Historic Landmark.

    Hardness depends on the source and changes over time. The annual water quality report lists hardness, or you can test it at home. If it is above about 7 grains per gallon, a water softener sized to your measured hardness will stop scale and spotting.
