DWR structures that name this system

Source Probable join · fetched 2026-09-09 · matched on DWR's recorded contact or an EPA intake name; verify on the dossier

3 structures on DWR's record name this system as their contact (3). A match says who DWR lists, not who owns the water: a ditch company can own the headgate while the system owns shares, and a consultant can be the contact. The dossier holds the decree.

Compliance record

EPA's own summary: violations in 2 of the last 12 quarters. In violation for, in EPA's words: 0200=Surface Water Treatment Rule; 0999=Chlorine; 8000=Revised Total Coliform Rule.

What the regulator did about it

22 enforcement actions on this system's federal record. In Colorado the state is the primacy agency, so most actions are the state's; EPA acts directly on tribal systems and when it steps in.

20 most recent of 22; the rest are on the ECHO report.

Lead and copper

The latest 90th-percentile lead result is 0.002 mg/L (sampling period ending 2025-12-31) against an action level of 0.015 mg/L, below it. 10 results on file.

The action level is not a health limit: it is the level at which the rule requires a system to act (corrosion control, public education, and in some cases replacing lead service lines). Lead mostly enters water from household plumbing, so a system-wide percentile does not tell you what comes out of one tap.

Violation, enforcement and lead/copper records are EPA SDWIS federal reporting, fetched monthly; the summary is EPA ECHO. Code names come from EPA's own REF_CODE_VALUE table. SDWIS carries violations, not routine sample results — nitrate, disinfection by-product and PFAS values are not in it, and a clean record here means nothing was reported as a violation, not that nothing was ever detected. For what was measured, ask the system for its Consumer Confidence Report.
