What is in the water at 80112

5 public water systems serve this ZIP code in the federal records. Everything below comes from EPA monitoring data, and everything missing is named.

DENVER WATER BOARD

PWSID CO0116001 · CO · serves 1,287,000 people

PFAS and lithium

1 compound detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 5 samples.

CompoundHighest detectedSamplesMost recent
lithium11 µg/L59/5/2023

A detection is a measurement, not a violation and not a health finding. EPA states that UCMR 5 results do not indicate compliance or non-compliance with any limit.

Health-based violations

No open health-based violation on record. This covers MCL, treatment technique and MRDL violations in SDWIS that have not been returned to compliance. It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

Median hardness 359 mg/L as CaCO₃, measured at 24 stations serving this system across 472 results, 2015-01-10 to 2026-05-28. Measured in the water source and distribution area, not at a tap, and not in your home.

PARKER WSD

PWSID CO0118040 · CO · serves 75,949 people

PFAS and lithium

6 compounds detected at or above the reporting limit under EPA’s UCMR 5 monitoring, across 54 samples.

It excludes monitoring and reporting violations, which are the large majority nationally, so this is not “no violations”, and SDWIS completeness varies by state.

Hardness

No hardness measurement. Hardness is measured at environmental monitoring stations, and none fell inside this system’s service area. That is a gap in where monitoring happens, not a finding about the water.

ARAPAHOE CNTY WWWA

Hardness

Too few readings to state a hardness. 1 station(s), 7 result(s). Below two stations and five results this page will not state a number: a median of two readings from one creek is not your water.

What this report cannot tell you

Every figure describes water at a sampling point: a treatment plant, an entry point to the distribution system, or a monitoring station. None of it describes water arriving at your tap. Plumbing between the two can add lead and copper, and if your home was built before 1986 a test kit tells you something no federal dataset can.
