Water comes from Chesterfield Co Central Water System
Chesterfield Co Central Water System supplies almost all of Midlothian. It draws surface water (EPA lists Appomattox River Water Authority and City of Richmond as sellers) and serves 389,897 people in all.

The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan 2023–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
