What WESTERN VIRGINIA WATER AUTHORITY's record does not cover
WESTERN VIRGINIA WATER AUTHORITY's numbers here come from its own required reporting to EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act, not from an independent test of your glass of water. This record - 3 health-based violations on file for WESTERN VIRGINIA WATER AUTHORITY - stops at the meter and cannot see household plumbing on the other side of it. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
