Water-related issues include potable (drinking) water, stormwater, storm drainage, streams, and water quality. Find contact information for the Health Department and the Fairfax Water for potable water issues (tap water, wells). Also find information for the county and its partner agencies about managing and/or regulating stormwater, drainage, and runoff pollution, and their effects on our land and water resources.
