Hydrohistorian
Park Center Water District
Serves Park Center.
Modelled boundary. EPA estimated this service area (Random Forest) rather than tracing a utility-supplied map; treat the edge as approximate. About 12 km².
Where the water comes from
| Facility | Kind | Water |
|---|---|---|
| WELL NO 2 REDRILL | Well | Groundwater |
| FOUR MILE CREEK NEW 1994 95 | Intake | Surface water |
These are EPA's facility records, not DWR structures. Which decreed rights sit behind an intake is the next phase; nothing here is inferred.
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
No DWR structure on file records this system as its contact, and none of its EPA intakes matches a structure name in its districts. DWR records a contact on only a fraction of structures, and only for districts fetched from its live service, so this is absence of a record, not evidence of no rights.
Compliance record

Nothing open today, but 3 health-based violations appear on the federal record historically. The history is below.
EPA's own summary: violations in 0 of the last 12 quarters.
What happened
All 3 violation records on file, grouped into the 1 distinct thing EPA's codes describe. Dates are the compliance period the violation is filed against.
Rule: Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.

What the regulator did about it
13 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.

Lead and copper
The latest 90th-percentile lead result is 0.0 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.
PFAS and lithium: EPA's UCMR 5 monitoring, 2023–2025

4 samples, 120 results, 2024-03-11 to 2024-12-03. No PFAS was detected at the reporting limits; lithium was measured up to 59.6 µg/L (no federal limit).
| Contaminant | Results | Detected | Highest, µg/L | Reporting limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HFPO-DA | 4 | 0 | < 0.005 | 0.005 |
| PFHxS | 4 | 0 | < 0.003 | 0.003 |
| PFNA | 4 | 0 | < 0.004 | 0.004 |
| PFOA | 4 | 0 | < 0.004 | 0.004 |
| PFOS | 4 | 0 | < 0.004 | 0.004 |
| lithium | 4 | 4 | 59.6 | 9.0 |
Rows shown: every detected contaminant plus the regulated PFAS and lithium; the rest were below their reporting limits. These are UCMR monitoring samples, not compliance samples. EPA's April 2024 rule set 4.0 ng/L (0.004 µg/L) for PFOA and PFOS, the same as UCMR 5's reporting limit, so any detection of either is at or above it; the rule's compliance date and its other limits have been under revision since 2025 and are not applied here. State PFAS sampling is on CDPHE's pages ↗.
