CHARLESTON, W.Va. (May 2, 2022) – As part of national Drinking Water Week, West Virginia American Water announced today that results published in the company’s 2021 Consumer Confidence Reports indicated excellent water quality throughout its 19-county service area. The reports for each water system include Bluefield, Bluestone, Gassaway, Huntington, Kanawha Valley, New River, Webster Springs and Weston.

The Consumer Confidence Report is an annual performance measure of the quality of water supplied by West Virginia American Water against the compliance standards established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. The report describes drinking water sources, water quality tests conducted, substances detected, and the levels of those substances. Commonly asked questions and the associated answers concerning drinking water are also included.

“Our team continues to serve as a leader on a state and national stage for our water quality and source water protection efforts,” said Billie Suder, Senior Manager of Water Quality and Environmental Compliance. “West Virginia American Water customers should be pleased with the high-quality drinking water that is delivered straight to their homes or businesses.”
