Prince George County, VA
drinking water quality
43,589 residents · 27 public water systems · 5 ZIP codes
EPA sampled 2 of 27 public water systems here, together serving about 37,851 people. EPA detected PFPeA at 3.8 ng/L. EPA has not set a drinking water limit for PFPeA, so there is no figure to compare it against. Last sampled 9/19/2023.
What this means
PFAS are industrial chemicals that EPA describes as breaking down only very slowly in the environment. In April 2024 EPA set the first enforceable national limits: 4 ng/L for PFOA and PFOS, 10 ng/L for PFHxS, PFNA and GenX.
These figures are county-level and come from EPA’s sampling of public water systems. They describe the worst result found in the county, not what comes out of any particular tap — that depends on which system serves the address, and on the plumbing in the building. A private well is not covered by this programme at all.
