2025 Drinking Water Clinics

Virginia Household Water Quality Program drinking water clinics typically run from February - November each year, and are held in about 70 counties. In 2025, we will have a delayed start to programs due to staffing changes and the need to hire and train a new employee. The 2025 schedule will be posted as soon as it's available.

Visit here for a description of clinics. Contact your local Extension office to express interest in a clinic.

Please contact us with any questions, assistance finding a private lab (list available here) or help interpreting water test results. Thank you!
