Moderately hard, typically 66 mg/L (3.8 grains per gallon), across 2 sampling points, in 2024.

Hardness is calcium and magnesium. EPA sets no limit for it: it shows up as scale on fixtures and in water heaters, and as soap that won’t lather. USGS calls water above 60 mg/L moderately hard, above 120 hard and above 180 very hard.

What this report can’t tell you

Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), haloacetic acids (HAA5) and fluoride results here are Colorado’s own from 2021 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Suburban Estates MHP’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. 26, 2021 to Aug. 4, 2026.

Testing your own tap

Suburban Estates MHP’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 Suburban Estates MHP serves on the state’s list. Some take samples by mail; the state’s page lists them all.
