Greeley Drinking Water Quality Report Published
The latest version of Greeley's water quality report is published each June, as required by federal law. It is an annual summary of the quality of drinking water treated and distributed by the City of Greeley. This year’s report invites you to “Get to Know Your Water” and includes additional information about where Greeley’s water comes from and how it is delivered to you. Greeley’s drinking water meets and exceeds all state and federal drinking water standards.
The City routinely monitors for a long list of potential contaminants in our drinking water. This drinking water report pertains to monitoring conducted in 2015. The federal Safe Drinking Water Act establishes the water quality standards for public drinking water systems, including Greeley’s. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in drinking water provided by public water systems. Tap water meets more stringent and much more frequently monitored health standards than does bottled water.
Greeley’s water starts as pure Rocky Mountain snowmelt and the Water Department uses the latest technologies and most effective practices to further improve the quality of our drinking water. Two water treatment plants make the water safe to drink in Greeley. The Bellvue plant is located at the mouth of the Cache la Poudre River canyon and operates continually throughout the year. The Boyd Lake plant in Loveland is a seasonal, peaking plant that operates during the lawn-watering season. Both plants are frequently upgraded to keep Greeley’s tradition of high quality drinking water.
