The Public Works Department operates 12 separate water systems throughout Pittsylvania County and provides wastewater collection in parts of six of these systems. For eight of the water systems, Pittsylvania County purchases bulk water from the City of Danville, the Henry County Public Service Authority, the Town of Chatham and the Town of Hurt. The other four water systems are served by wells. We also have wastewater treatment agreements with Danville and Chatham.

• 113 miles of water mains
