Where Richmond Tap Water Comes From

The City of Richmond's Department of Public Utilities treats water for the city and sells water to neighboring counties.

🌊

The James River

The James River is the source of Richmond's drinking water. River water is diverted near Williams Island to settling basins and then to the city's treatment plant, first completed in 1924 and upgraded over the years.

A Regional Supplier

Richmond's plant also supplies wholesale water to Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties, so many suburban homes drink James River water too.

Private Wells

Homes outside the public systems in the surrounding counties rely on private wells. VDH recommends testing them every year for bacteria and nitrate.

Richmond has many older homes. Plumbing inside a house can affect what comes out of the tap, even when the water leaving the plant meets every standard β€” so tell us about your home when you request a quote.

Richmond Water Treatment Questions

How do I get a quote?

Fill out the quick form on this page or call us.

Where can I read Richmond's water report?

The Department of Public Utilities publishes an annual water quality report on the city's website. We're happy to go over it with you when you request a quote.

Do you serve Henrico and Chesterfield?

We serve the Richmond area. Call us to confirm availability at your address.

Do you work with private well water?

Yes. We work with homes on private wells as well as public water.

Do you do certified lab testing?

No. If you need certified lab results β€” for a real estate transaction, for example β€” ask us and we'll point you in the right direction.
