Revised Total Coliform Rule
Monitoring ViolationOther ViolationTreatment Technique Violation Health-based15 violations, Sep 2024 to open
Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, open since Sep 2025. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
Monitoring Violation: 13 violations, Sep 2024 to Jun 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring. This does not show that a contaminant was found.
Other Violation: 1 violation, Jan 2025 to Oct 2025. A requirement other than monitoring, reporting, or a contaminant limit, such as public notice or the annual water quality report.
What the rule requires: The 2013 RTCR (effective 2016) replaced the original TCR. It triggers automatic E. coli testing whenever total coliform is found. A single E. coli-positive sample is an acute MCL violation. It also requires systems exceeding 5% total coliform-positive samples to conduct a formal assessment and correct any deficiencies, helping prevent contamination before it escalates.
Health effects: Total coliform bacteria indicate that the disinfection barrier has been breached or fecal contamination is entering the system. E. coli specifically indicates fecal contamination and the possible presence of disease-causing pathogens (norovirus, Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter). Illness can be severe in elderly, young children, and immunocompromised individuals. Limit: Zero E. coli; ≤5% of monthly samples total coliform-positive
About this rule

Lead and Copper Rule
Monitoring and Reporting4 violations, Jan 2025 to open
Monitoring and Reporting: 4 violations, open since Jan 2025. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.
What the rule requires: The 1991 LCR uses action levels rather than MCLs: if the 90th percentile of high-risk tap samples exceeds 15 ppb lead or 1.3 mg/L copper, the system must take escalating corrective actions. Violations typically indicate failure to maintain adequate corrosion control — the treatment that keeps lead from leaching out of pipes, solder, and fixtures.

Consumer Confidence Rule
Other Violation1 violation, Jul 2026 to open
Other Violation: 1 violation, open since Jul 2026. A requirement other than monitoring, reporting, or a contaminant limit, such as public notice or the annual water quality report.
What the rule requires: Community water systems must deliver an annual water quality report (Consumer Confidence Report) to all customers by July 1, covering the previous year. It must list all detected contaminants, compare them to MCLs, identify source water, and include educational language about lead. A violation means the report was not delivered on time or was incomplete.

Monitoring and ReportingTreatment Technique Violation Health-based3 violations, Jan 2025 to Jun 2026 · 2 contaminants
Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, Jul 2025 to Jul 2025. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
Monitoring and Reporting: 2 violations, Jan 2025 to Jun 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.
Contaminants on the record: Groundwater Rule (GWR), E. coli (Escherichia coli).
Groundwater Rule (GWR), health effects: Protects against enteric viruses, which can contaminate groundwater via cracked well casings, failing septic systems, or animal waste. Viruses persist longer in groundwater than in surface water. Hepatitis A and norovirus are the primary pathogens of concern. Limit: Treatment technique: 4-log virus treatment required when source water has fecal indicators or significant sanitary deficiencies
E. coli (Escherichia coli), health effects: Most E. coli strains cause diarrheal illness. Some strains (e.g., O157:H7) produce toxins causing severe bloody diarrhea, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS — a form of kidney failure), and death — especially in children under 5 and the elderly. Even non-pathogenic strains in drinking water indicate that disease-causing organisms may also be present. Limit: Zero (one confirmed positive sample = acute MCL violation)

Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 2 violations, Nov 2024 to Jul 2025. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
Contaminant on the record: Stage 1 Disinfectants and DBP Rule.
Stage 1 Disinfectants and DBP Rule, health effects: See TTHMs (2950) and HAA5 (2456) for their specific health effects. Bromate is a probable human carcinogen (Group B2). Chlorite at elevated levels can cause hemolytic anemia, particularly in infants, developing fetuses, and individuals with certain enzyme deficiencies. Violations indicate the system exceeded one or more of these byproduct or disinfectant limits. Limit: TTHM: 0.080 mg/L; HAA5: 0.060 mg/L; Bromate: 0.010 mg/L; Chlorite: 1.0 mg/L

What the rule requires: Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid found in bedrock and soil. It dissolves into groundwater from natural deposits and can also come from mining, smelting and past pesticide use. EPA lowered the MCL from 50 ppb to 10 ppb in 2001.
Health effects: Long-term arsenic exposure increases risk of bladder, lung, and skin cancers. It is also associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and developmental effects in children. Arsenic is classified as a Group A human carcinogen by the EPA. Limit: 0.010 mg/L (10 ppb), set in 2001 and enforceable since 2006; the previous MCL was 0.050 mg/L (50 ppb)

Reporting ViolationTreatment Technique Violation Health-based2 violations, Jul 2025 to Oct 2025
Treatment Technique Violation, health-based: 1 violation, Jul 2025 to Oct 2025. The system did not carry out a required treatment process or corrective action.
Reporting Violation: 1 violation, Jul 2025 to Oct 2025. The system did not report required information on time.
What the rule requires: The 2021 LCRR updated the 1991 LCR with mandatory lead service line inventories and replacement planning, a new 'trigger level' at 10 ppb requiring optimization, and strengthened public education. The 2024 Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) further requires replacing all lead service lines within 10 years.
Health effects: Same as Lead and Copper Rule (5000). Violations typically reflect failure to complete the required lead service line inventory or submit a required replacement plan. Lead service lines are the primary source of lead at the tap in many older systems. Limit: Lead action level: 15 ppb (trigger level: 10 ppb); copper action level: 1.3 mg/L

About this data
Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.
ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.
A measured value shown with a rule is the sample result EPA recorded with that violation (SDWIS viol_measure), against the limit EPA recorded on the same row (state_mcl), both in EPA's unit as written; violations without a recorded value, such as missed monitoring, show none. Other measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Colorado records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
