Still in violation
EPA data updated Oct 7, 2026
Combined Radium (-226 and -228)
Radium-226 and Radium-228 are naturally occurring radioactive isotopes produced by the decay of uranium and thorium in bedrock.
Combined Radium (-226 and -228)
Radium-226 and Radium-228 are naturally occurring radioactive isotopes produced by the decay of uranium and thorium in bedrock.
What it means: Radium-226 and Radium-228 are naturally occurring radioactive isotopes produced by the decay of uranium and thorium in bedrock. They dissolve into groundwater, particularly in deep aquifers with low oxygen and low pH. Granite bedrock and some deep sandstone and limestone aquifers present conditions where combined radium can reach detectable levels in drinking water.
Health effects: Radium is a bone-seeking radionuclide that accumulates in skeletal tissue after ingestion. Long-term exposure increases the risk of bone cancer and leukemia. There is no safe threshold for ionizing radiation — the MCL is set at a level balancing risk reduction with treatment feasibility. Children are particularly vulnerable due to higher rates of bone growth and calcium uptake.
Limit: 5 pCi/L (combined Ra-226 and Ra-228)

Combined Uranium
Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive heavy metal found in rock and soil formations across the United States.
Combined Uranium
Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive heavy metal found in rock and soil formations across the United States.
What it means: Uranium is a naturally occurring radioactive heavy metal found in rock and soil formations across the United States. It leaches into groundwater through weathering of uranium-bearing minerals, and is more prevalent in granite-rich and other uranium-bearing geologies. Mining and milling operations can also elevate uranium in nearby water supplies.
Health effects: Uranium poses both radiological and chemical health risks. Chronic exposure is primarily associated with kidney damage due to its chemical toxicity as a heavy metal. The radiological risk — increased cancer probability — is also present but secondary to the nephrotoxic concern at drinking water concentrations. There is no safe threshold for radiation exposure.
Limit: 0.030 mg/L (30 µg/L)
About this contaminantAbout this data
EPA counts the rules a system was in violation of, not the individual violations; one rule can carry several in the same period. Unresolved means still in violation at EPA's latest data refresh. Measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Service area from EPA's Public Water System Service Area Boundaries dataset: Random Forest method, Federal agency. The system's location is the centre of the service area EPA publishes for the system.

The Virginia records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
