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

Source Register of another agency · fetched 2026-09-09 · verify at EPA ECHO ↗

EPA's summary: violations in 0 of the last 12 quarters; not a serious violator.

No health-based or open violation on the federal record for this system.

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; 7 results on file.

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

12 samples, 240 results, 2025-02-18 to 2026-03-24. 1 of the 29 PFAS were detected at least once; lithium was measured up to 25.0 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 ↗.
