Wastewater Management

Drinking Water - Wastewater - Stormwater

Water's Journey Clean water is our most important resource. To preserve water quality for future generations, we need to understand where water comes from, how we use it, and where it goes when it leaves our homes and businesses. Learn how drinking water, wastewater and stormwater runoff are managed by separate systems in Fairfax County and where you can get help and find more information.
