Water Infrastructure

Drinking water systems, wastewater, and long-term water quality investment.

County-by-county source verification is underway.
At a glance

Understand the issue before diving into the records.

What this is

Most West Virginians get water from a municipal system, a public service district, or a private utility, and send wastewater to a treatment plant or septic system. Those systems depend on pipes, pumps, plants, and lift stations that need constant repair and replacement, and most large projects only happen when a government grant or loan pays for them.

Why it matters

Aging lines, failing plants, repeated boil-water advisories, and contamination affect health, housing, schools, businesses, and fire protection. Because most of this work is paid for with public money, residents deserve to know which system serves them, who is responsible for it, how much has been awarded, and whether a funded project has actually started.

What we track

  • Drinking-water, sewer, wastewater, and stormwater systems and the utility, town, or public service district responsible
  • Grants, loans, project awards, and federal infrastructure funding flowing into West Virginia communities
  • Permits, consent orders, enforcement actions, and water-quality records
  • Outages, major service disruptions, and documented boil-water problems
  • Line replacements, plant upgrades, extensions, consolidations, and project status
Where this is happening

Water, sewer, and wastewater infrastructure records across West Virginia.

Every marker and card comes only from verified, published records in the canonical issue activity table. Counties without a verified record are not marked.

Activity status
  • Active
  • Approved
  • Proposed
  • Under review
  • Paused
  • Ended
  • Status unclear
Evidence source
  • Jurisdiction-level, approximate placement

Dashed markers sit on an approximate county or municipality centroid and do not represent an exact location.

Verification underway

No records found yet.

This does not mean nothing is happening. It means no record has completed source review and publication, and no government or news evidence has been matched to a West Virginia county yet. This section populates automatically as records are approved.

Who has authority?

Select a county — or any marker or activity card above — and each card opens that county’s real section.

  • Submit a source-backed update or missing public record to WVFC
Official source records

Government records for drinking water, sewer, and wastewater systems.

Grants and loans, project awards, permits, enforcement actions, and public notices from state and federal agencies. A funding announcement means money was awarded — it does not mean construction has begun.

Reported in the news

Coverage of outages, boil-water problems, and system failures.

Headlines are a discovery layer, not verification. A news report never becomes a verified WVFC record, and it never sets a project's status on its own.

No new West Virginia water or sewer coverage was published since the last check.

Markers appear only when a source reliably identifies a West Virginia county, municipality, water or sewer system, or public service district. Records without a mappable jurisdiction are listed here but never placed on the map.
