What the violations mean

Combined Radium (-226 and -228)

34 incidents

Test results for Combined Radium (-226 and -228) were above the federal limit (a maximum contaminant level violation).

The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.

Gross Alpha, Excl. Radon and U

25 incidents

Test results for Gross Alpha, Excl. Radon and U were above the federal limit (a maximum contaminant level violation).

The utility had to notify customers about each of these violations.

Stage 1 Disinfection Byproducts Rule

1 incident

The 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

Vroman WC draws water from 1 well.

Annual water quality report

Vroman WC 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 Vroman WC for a copy.

Find a posted report with EPA's Consumer Confidence Report search

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.
