The short answer

1 result is above the health goal. The worst: Uranium, above the health goal. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What handles it

What was found

Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, chromium (total), arsenic and nitrate: Colorado’s own results, samples taken from Aug. 19, 2020 to July 21, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Arsenic
Lead
Nitrate

What handles it

A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”

NSF/ANSI 58
Claim: Uranium
For: Uranium

At the tap, or for the whole house?

These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

Filters with those claims on a certifier’s listing

None of the filters TapBuff has checked so far carry these claims. Search the certifier listings for the claim above.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There is 1 monitoring or reporting violation: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

Everything else. Uranium, total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5), fluoride, chromium (total), arsenic and nitrate results here are Colorado’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Eagles Watch HOA’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has the contaminants this page does not show.
Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.
What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.
Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; Colorado’s results run from Aug. 19, 2020 to July 21, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Eagles Watch HOA’s results are for the water it sends out. What your own service line, solder and fixtures add shows up only in a test of your tap, by a lab Colorado certifies.

No lab Colorado certifies is within 75 miles of the area Eagles Watch HOA serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
