Washington County Service Authority Drinking Water Company and CDC- Where does Washington County Service Authority water come from?
Washington County Service Authority supplies surface water to Washington, Virginia. - Does Washington County Service Authority test its tap water?
Yes. Like every public water system, Washington County Service Authority must test its water under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act and publish an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report). Ask the utility for the latest report or look for it on its website. - How do I contact Washington County Service Authority?
Call 276-628-7151 or visit 25122 Regal Drive, Abingdon, VA 24211, or use the contact options on the utility’s website. - Does Washington County Service Authority water contain lead?
Water usually leaves the treatment plant without lead. Lead can enter tap water from older service lines, solder and brass fixtures inside homes, especially when water sits in the pipes. Run the tap before drinking if water has been sitting, and ask the utility about lead testing and service line records. - Is Washington County Service Authority water hard?
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.
