Polluted stormwater runoff is the number one cause of poor quality of river and stream water in Northern Virginia that also serves as the sources of our drinking water. It is often the responsibility of local governments to clean up and monitor the health of waterways and to look for ways to prevent future pollution. Working together Northern Virginia, we can make a difference!

The Northern Virginia Clean Water Partners represent 11 Northern Virginia local governments, two independent water and sanitary sewer authorities, and local businesses that care about the quality of our waterways and the region’s quality of life.

Our goal is to work together to keep local residents healthy and safe by reducing the amount of pollution that reaches local creeks and rivers. We use educational advertisements, publications, blogs, and this website to alert the citizens we serve about how they can do their part — simple steps they can take to make sure there is enough clean water in local waterways for families to enjoy them and for fish and animals to survive and thrive.
