It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 97 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 17.65 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 26 µg/L. There were 2 contamintants found in the Denver Water Board water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level.
