Clean Groundwater Matters in Virginia

The recent water crisis in Richmond serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role that clean drinking water plays in our everyday lives. Even the slightest hint of contamination can disrupt our routines and pose serious risks to our health and well-being.
The crisis underscores the importance of remaining vigilant about water quality and highlights the necessity of proactive measures to ensure that our drinking water is free of contaminants.
Amazingly, almost a quarter of Virginians rely on private wells for their drinking water, highlighting the critical importance of clean groundwater. At Pollard Environmental our focus does not include municipal water systems, but we routinely witness the distress caused when private drinking water wells become compromised due to heating oil that has leaked from buried tanks.
The solution is simple and inexpensive for Virginians thanks to financial assistance from the State. If your underground storage tank has been in service for over 20 years, it is time to act and let Pollard Environmental provide a thorough leakage inspection. If we encounter leakage, we’ll access financial assistance* from the State of Virginia to properly remedy it, protecting your family’s health and property.
As demand for clean groundwater continues to grow each year, so does the importance of taking proactive steps to protect it. Clean groundwater is not just a necessity for today, it is a precious resource that we must safeguard for future generations. Protecting Virginia’s groundwater is what we do at Pollard Environmental — call us or visit our website to learn more.
*State financial assistance requires pre-approval and accurate claim submittal, so it is important to have an experiences company, such as Pollard Environmental, handle this process.
