Toxic Water in Loudoun: When Farms Contaminate the Ground Beneath You
When Loudoun County residents turn on their taps, they expect clean, safe water.
But for many living near farmland, what’s flowing into their wells isn’t just groundwater—it’s agricultural runoff filled with nitrates, herbicides, and toxic chemicals.
This is more than a water quality issue.
It’s a public health hazard, and if your family has been affected, you have the right to take legal action.
The Invisible Threat in Your Well
Fertilizers, pesticides, and livestock waste can seep deep into the soil and contaminate underground water supplies.
In rural areas of Loudoun, private wells are especially vulnerable.
Most homeowners don’t realize the contamination until symptoms show up: chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and even elevated cancer risk.
By then, it’s not just water—it’s evidence.
If your well water tests high for nitrates or chemicals, or if your property sits downhill from a farm operation, you may be living on contaminated land.
Who’s Liable for Agricultural Runoff?
Farms aren’t above the law. Just like factories, agricultural operations can be held accountable for negligent waste management and improper use of chemicals.
If they failed to:
- Follow state or federal environmental regulations
- Implement runoff control systems
- Notify nearby residents of hazardous chemicals
They may be liable for toxic tort claims under Virginia law.
