Water Quality Snapshot: NCSA - WINTERGREEN

NCSA - WINTERGREEN is a local-owned community water system that delivers drinking water to 6,861 residents in LOVINGSTON, Virginia (Nelson County) through 2,417 service connections. Its water is drawn from surface water sources. EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System records 71 total violations for this system , of which 4 (6%) are health-based — meaning a contaminant exceeded an EPA Maximum Contaminant Level or a required treatment technique failed. A further 63 monitoring and reporting violations are on file. The most recent violation on record dates to 2024.

The most frequently cited contaminant at this system is E. COLI, recorded in 8 violations (MR). Under EPA's UCMR5 PFAS monitoring program, 6 PFAS compounds were detected in samples collected from this system, with a maximum reported concentration of 0.013 ppt. PFAS are persistent synthetic chemicals linked to health effects at very low exposure levels.

Across Virginia, EPA tracks 2,821 public water systems serving 7,911,199 people, with 146,670 cumulative violations and 25,642 health-based violations on record. About 90% of systems in the state carry at least one violation, and state-wide the average per system is 52 violations. NCSA - WINTERGREEN's 71 violations sit above the Virginia average. Statewide, 70 of 171 UCMR5-tested systems have reported PFAS detections (40.9%). All figures above are sourced directly from EPA SDWIS and UCMR5 public data releases and are updated as EPA publishes new reporting cycles.
