These are EPA's facility records, not DWR structures. Which decreed rights sit behind an intake is the next phase; nothing here is inferred.

Wholesale connections

Buys water from PROJECT 7 WA.

Sells water to 1 system: CIMARRON CREEK.

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

No lead or copper 90th-percentile result on the federal record for this system.

SDWIS federal reporting carries violations and lead/copper percentiles only; nitrate, disinfection by-product and PFAS sample results are not in it. Codes are EPA's (violation, contaminant, rule); the ECHO report expands them.

PFAS and lithium: EPA's UCMR 5 monitoring, 2023–2025

4 samples, 120 results, 2024-09-16 to 2025-06-16. No PFAS was detected at the reporting limits; lithium was measured up to 16.9 µg/L (no federal limit).

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 ↗.
