NOTICE TO CONSUMERS
of the Town of Tazewell Waterworks
PWSID No.: 1185761
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
State Health Officials have advised us of a failure to perform required monitoring in accordance with the Virginia Waterworks Regulations.
We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During April 2025, we did not monitor for coliform bacteria and chlorine residual concentrations. Therefore, we cannot be sure of the quality of our drinking water during that time.
Five routine samples were required for analysis and none were analyzed.
State health officials believe that there is little need for concern about the safety of your water because past records show that our waterworks has had no documented problems with bacteriological contamination; however, routine sampling and examination are required to determine the quality of water delivered to our customers.
There is nothing you need to do at this time. We will attempt to collect the proper number of required samples during the month of May, carefully review the results obtained by the laboratory, and collect additional samples when needed.
We have since been collecting and having analyzed the required number of bacteriological and chlorine concentration samples.
