Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) violations in West Virginia

76 active public water systems in West Virginia had a Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) violation in the past three years, 18 of them in the latest quarter of EPA's data. What Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) is and why it matters.

Health effects: Without proper filtration/disinfection: Giardia lamblia (severe diarrhea, cramping), Cryptosporidium (life-threatening for immunocompromised individuals), viruses (hepatitis A, norovirus). Turbidity itself is not a health risk but can shield pathogens from disinfection.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR) alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The West 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.
