| | Evaluation of Household Water Quality in Essex, King and Queen, King William, and Middlesex Counties,Virginia |
 | | Virginia Department of Health and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality personnel, as well as others, who spoke at the public meetings, are appreciated for their contributions. |
| | The four counties comprise much of Virginia's Middle Peninsula, therefore, are drained entirely by the Rappahannock and York Rivers, which along with the latter's major tributaries, the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers, form much of the borders of the four counties. |
| | Major household water quality problems identified, as a result of these previous analyses, were determined to be iron/manganese, hardness, fluoride, and total dissolved solids, and because of their potential health significance, corrosivity, bacteria, and to a lesser extent, sodium and nitrate, although the occurrence and extent of these problems varied across counties. |
