Yorktown municipal water is supplied through Newport News Waterworks, the regional provider serving York County along with Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson and part of James City County. For the Lower Peninsula system, the primary source is surface water from Diascund Creek Reservoir, supplemented by the Chickahominy River as conditions require.
What Yorktown Homeowners Should Know About the Latest Report
The 2025 Newport News Waterworks Consumer Confidence Report covers the regional system that supplies York County. Waterworks states that its drinking water meets or does better than state and federal standards, while also reporting local details that can matter when choosing home water treatment.
Moderately Hard Water
Waterworks reported an average hardness of 69 mg/L as calcium carbonate in 2025, with a range of 63–75 mg/L.
Regional Surface Water
The Lower Peninsula system primarily uses Diascund Creek Reservoir, with the Chickahominy River supplementing supply as weather patterns require.
Multi-Step Treatment
Waterworks uses coagulation, clarification, ozone disinfection, filtration, pH adjustment and corrosion control before final disinfection with chloramines.
York County System Note
Some York County customers are served by the separate Lightfoot well system, which has its own section in the combined 2025 report.
Your address determines which Waterworks system information applies.
Most Yorktown municipal-water questions can be answered from the Newport News Waterworks regional report, but York County also includes Lightfoot well-system customers. The dedicated Yorktown Water Quality Report page will help homeowners understand the report and the system information that applies to them.
Whole-Home Treatment and Drinking-Water Filtration
Whole-home conditioning, reverse osmosis and targeted PFAS filtration address different treatment goals. The right choice depends on your water, your plumbing and whether you want treatment throughout the home or at drinking-water taps.

Well Water Requires Property-Specific Testing
York County notes that private wells are the only drinking-water source in some parts of the county. Unlike Newport News Waterworks customers, private-well owners are responsible for understanding the conditions at their own property.
Iron, sulfur odor, acidity, tannins, sediment, hardness and bacteria can require different testing and treatment approaches, so well-water recommendations should be based on the individual water supply rather than municipal-water data.
Municipal water and well water should not share one generic recommendation.
City-water treatment usually focuses on hardness, chlorine, taste and dissolved contaminants. Well-water treatment should be selected from property-specific test results.

Yorktown Water Treatment Questions
Who supplies municipal drinking water in Yorktown?
Newport News Waterworks is the regional water provider for York County as well as Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson and part of James City County. Some York County customers are served by Waterworks’ separate Lightfoot well system, so the report information that applies can depend on the service address.
Is Yorktown water hard?
For the Newport News Waterworks Lower Peninsula system, the 2025 report classifies the treated water as moderately hard. The reported average was 69 mg/L as calcium carbonate, with a 2025 range of 63–75 mg/L.
Why does Newport News water data apply to Yorktown?
Newport News Waterworks supplies York County, so its regional Consumer Confidence Report covers municipal water delivered to Yorktown-area customers on that system. York County also includes the separate Lightfoot system, which is reported separately.
What does a Yorktown free water test include?
Our free in-home water test includes testing tap water, refrigerator water, bottled water and other household water sources while evaluating hardness, chlorine, pH and other common water conditions. It is an in-home evaluation, not a certified laboratory analysis for contaminants such as PFAS.
Can reverse osmosis connect to a refrigerator?
In many homes, yes. A refrigerator line may be connected when the location and plumbing make it practical.
Do you treat private well water in the Yorktown area?
Yes. York County notes that some areas rely on private wells. Because well-water quality varies by property, treatment recommendations should be based on the water conditions and testing appropriate to that home.
