City of Loveland (CO) Water Quality

City of Loveland is a large public water system in EPA region 8 that provides tap water for the 80537, 80538 zip codes. It has 5 facilities where the water supply was tested for 78 chemical contaminants that impact tap water quality and human health.

The maximum reported level of 2-propen-1-ol (Allyl Alcohol) was 0.61 µg/L. The maximum reported level of HAA5 (five regulated haloacetic acids) was 59.8 µg/L. The maximum reported level of Manganese was 9.8 µg/L. The maximum reported level of quinoline was 0.24 µg/L. Some (3 of 8 or 38%) of the latest water samples showed levels of quinoline that were at or above unsafe concentration levels. There were 4 contamintants found in the City of Loveland water supply at levels that were above the minimum reporting level. 1 of the contaminants were above the reference level, which means they may pose a risk to human health.
