The short answer

Nothing in EPA’s and Colorado’s records for this utility is above a health goal. That covers nitrate, arsenic and other regulated chemicals, plus lead and copper, not everything. No health-based violations on file since 2016.

What was found

Fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total), nitrate and uranium: Colorado’s own results, samples taken from Jan. 14, 2020 to Dec. 15, 2025, with EPA’s 2012 to 2019 file for earlier years.

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2024

2024, one sample: 2.0 ppm

Averaged by year, the highest was 2.3 ppm, in 2020, below EPA’s legal limit of 4.0 ppm. In 2024, the latest year on file, its one sample was 2.0 ppm. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 2.1 ppm, in 2016.

3.6ppb

Highest yearly average, 2020 to 2023

Averaged by year, the highest was 3.6 ppb, in 2023, below EPA’s legal limit of 80 ppb. That was also the latest year on file. Earlier, from 2012 to 2019, EPA’s file shows a highest yearly average of 7.1 ppb, in 2013.

Hardness

Soft, typically 42 mg/L (2.5 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.

Violations since 2016

No health-based violations on file with EPA since 2016. There are 12 monitoring or reporting violations: a sample missed, late or not reported.

What this report can’t tell you

  • Everything else. Fluoride, haloacetic acids (HAA5), total trihalomethanes (TTHM), arsenic, chromium (total), nitrate and uranium results here are Colorado’s own from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Wagon Wheel 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 Jan. 14, 2020 to Dec. 15, 2025.

Testing your own tap

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