However, the City does not regulate private wells and therefore, is not an expert on the issue of groundwater quality. The City encourages you to consult the websites of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the Virginia Department of Health for information regarding water quality and fly ash.
