Administrative Orders

The State Board of Health (Board) issues Administrative Orders to address a waterworks’ failure to comply with Virginia’s Public Water Supplies Law and the Waterworks Regulations.  

An Administrative Order cites specific violations and requires corrective action by the waterworks to return to compliance within a set schedule.  Additionally, an Administrative Order typically includes a civil monetary penalty that the waterworks owner must pay.

If a waterworks owner does not comply with an Administrative Order, the Virginia Department of Health refers the matter to the Office of the Attorney General for enforcement action through court proceedings.

There are two types of Administrative Orders:

  • A “Consent Order” is a voluntary agreement between the Board and the waterworks owner to resolve the violations.
  • A “Special Order” is issued by the State Health Commissioner, acting on behalf of the Board, requiring the waterworks owner to resolve the violations. A Special Order is issued without a waterworks owner’s consent after the owner has had an opportunity to participate in an administrative hearing.
