Richmond and much of the surrounding region drink water from the James River. Get a quote for a water treatment system that fits your home.
The City of Richmond's Department of Public Utilities treats water for the city and sells water to neighboring counties.
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.
Richmond DPU: Water Utility →Richmond's plant also supplies wholesale water to Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover counties, so many suburban homes drink James River water too.
Richmond DPU: Water Utility →Homes outside the public systems in the surrounding counties rely on private wells. VDH recommends testing them every year for bacteria and nitrate.
VDH: Testing Your Private Well →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 — so tell us about your home when you request a quote.
