The short answer

2 results are 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

Lead and copper: EPA SDWIS monitoring periods ending 2004 to 2025.

Copper: EPA’s file records a utility’s copper only when it exceeds the action level. The last here was 2.4 ppm, for the period ending Dec. 31, 1993. None since is on file, so it is not counted as a current finding.

Uranium, fluoride, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic and chromium (total): Colorado’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 23, 2020 to Aug. 3, 2026, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Above the health goal2

Uranium

Above the health goal

3.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2022 to 2026

2026, one sample: 2.0 ppb

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.6 ppb, in 2022: below EPA’s legal limit of 30 ppb, but above its health goal of zero. In 2026, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.0 ppb. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 4.9 ppb, in 2016.

What handles it

Lead

Above the health goal

0.5ppb

90th percentile, 2023 to 2025

In the latest period, 9 in 10 homes sampled were at or below 0.5 ppb, below EPA’s action level of 15 ppb. The action level drops to 10 ppb on Nov. 1, 2027. EPA’s health goal for lead is zero.

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.”

At the tap, or for the whole house?

Lead and copper usually come from pipes and fixtures inside or near your home. A whole-house system sits where water enters, so it cannot catch what your own plumbing adds after it. For those, the filter that counts is the one at the tap. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Uranium, fluoride, nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic and chromium (total) results here are Colorado’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Rosewood Hills Property 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 Jan. 23, 2020 to Aug. 3, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Rosewood Hills Property 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.
