What the violations mean
Combined Uranium
14 incidentsTest results for Combined Uranium were above the federal limit (a maximum contaminant level violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Groundwater Rule
3 incidentsThe system did not complete a treatment step or action that the Groundwater Rule requires (a treatment technique violation).
The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.
Stage 1 Disinfection Byproducts Rule
1 incidentThe system did not meet a treatment requirement of the Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule
Byproducts form when disinfectants react with natural material in water. Long-term exposure above federal limits may increase cancer risk
Where the water comes from
Pagels TP draws water from 2 wells.
Annual water quality report
Pagels TP must give its customers an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) by July 1, with the levels its tests found in the previous year.
Systems serving 500 or fewer people may meet the rule by telling customers the report is available on request, so you may need to ask Pagels TP for a copy.

Testing your own water
To test the water at your tap, or a private well this record does not cover, use a laboratory certified for drinking water by Colorado.
