Jessica, Senior Water Quality Analyst, Public Works And Utilities
Dear Westminster Community,
This year marks a significant milestone for the health and wellness of our community. We are beginning design and construction of our new water treatment facilities project. This investment will extend the life of Westminster’s aging water infrastructure and build a new water treatment facility to provide clean, safe, and affordable drinking water for future generations of Westminster residents. The new treatment facility will incorporate modern treatment technology to improve the City’s ability to respond to wildfire pollution should it reach Standley Lake, and its smart, modular design will allow the City to add new treatment processes to meet future state and federal regulations effectively and affordably.
After the community raised concerns about affordability, the City carefully reevaluated the project to ensure it could continue to deliver clean and safe drinking water in a financially responsible manner. After this thoughtful process, the City identified nearly $100 million in cost savings for the treatment facility, significantly cut water rates for all residents, and capped future rate adjustments at 4.5% annually over the next ten years. With an eye toward sound stewardship of public dollars, the City will ensure water will continue to be affordable for the community.
After a long and thoughtful process, we believe the new treatment plant will ensure the community continues to have clean, safe, and affordable drinking water for generations to come. To learn more about this critically important investment in our community’s infrastructure, please read the Water Quality Report’s water treatment facility article, and stay tuned for more updates from the City, as well as opportunities to engage in the process this coming year.
Sincerely,
City Manager Mark FreitagThe Safe Drinking Water Act
Westminster’s water begins its journey as snow from the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains along Clear Creek and is diverted to Standley Lake through a complex canal system. The lake stores up to 14 billion gallons of water. Half of the water belongs to the City of Westminster and the other half is reserved for Thornton, Northglenn, and other entities. Westminster’s storage in Standley Lake is enough to serve City customers for one year. While Standley Lake’s water supply varies throughout the year based on snowpack, rainfall, and seasonal weather, the lake’s water level will typically be lowest in the summer when water irrigation demands are at their peak and rainfall is minimal.
Water is a precious resource, and we make every effort to save every drop. City staff partners closely with neighboring communities to monitor Clear Creek and the canal systems
to reduce potential threats to our source water. In an emergency, the City and our partner communities have the ability to reroute contaminated water around Standley Lake until the issue can be resolved.
Seasonal changes at Standley Lake may temporarily make our water taste a little earthy.
Why does my water taste different in the fall?
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) completed a Source Water Assessment Project report (SWAP) for our water supply. It provides a screening evaluation of potential contamination that could occur in the Standley Lake watershed. It does not mean that the contamination has occurred or will occur. This information is used to evaluate the need to improve our current water treatment capabilities and prepare for future contamination threats.
A copy of the report is available by contacting our Water Quality staff at 303-658-2461 or by email at water@cityofwestminster.us
Potential sources of contamination to our source water include existing/abandoned mines, aboveground and underground leaking storage tanks, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) abandoned contaminated sites, EPA chemical inventory/storage sites and toxic release sites, EPA hazardous waste generators, permitted wastewater discharges, solid waste sites, forests, fallow and pasture/hay, septic systems, oil/gas wells and roads, EPA Superfund Sites, commercial/ industrial/transportation, residential areas, urban recreational grasses, quarries/strip mines, gravel pits, and row crops.
Here is how the City cleans our drinking water. Similar to most other drinking water treatment plants, the City uses four steps for treating water.
Water from Standley Lake enters the drinking water treatment facility and is channeled into a mixing chamber where chemicals called coagulants cause small particles such as dirt and debris to stick together, forming larger particles. As the particles continue to coagulate or stick together, they get heavier. Over time, the heavy, larger particles settle to the bottom of the settling tanks where they are removed through a bottom drain. Lime is added during flocculation for corrosion control.
The cleaner, clearer water that remains flows through a series of fine media filters. Semper, the City’s oldest drinking water treatment facility, uses a 36-inch layer of sand and anthracite to filter water. It’s a lot like a three-foot-tall Brita® water filter. Built in 2001, Northwest Treatment Facility is a more modern treatment facility that uses a thin microfiltration membrane to remove fine particulates.
After the water has been filtered of large and fine particles, a small amount of chlorine is added to eliminate bacteria or viruses.
CHLORINE
Once our drinking water has been cleaned and filtered, it is pumped to one of several water towers. Thanks to gravity, clean and safe water flows to our homes 24 hours a day, seven days a week through a network of over 545 miles of water lines.
Here’s a glimpse into our evaluation of water quality during the year.

Over the years, expansions and upgrades to Semper Water Treatment Plant were needed to meet the needs of a booming Westminster. Semper was built back in 1969 when the city’s population was approximately 20,000 people. According to the 2020 Census, Westminster is now home to about 116,000 residents.
The aerial photo of Semper in 2020, to the right, captures the 50-year-old facility that treats 65% of the City’s water over the course of a year. Northwest Treatment Facility treats the remaining 35% of the City’s drinking water supply.
Beginning in fall of 2023, work will begin on a new, modern water treatment facility that will reliably provide 15 million gallons of water per day (MGD). The new facility will be built on property the City recently acquired on Westminster Boulevard just north of 98th Avenue, on a site that had been previously destined for development. The new water treatment facility will allow Westminster to retire portions of an aging water treatment plant that was built over a half-century ago.
The 40-acre site will allow the City to add additional treatment technology and processes as future regulations and detection capabilities change. While the City has not seen detectable levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in its water supply, the new facility will be able to add new treatment systems as the technology and regulations standards are developed.
The new treatment facility will also allow the City to enhance the walking trails network by connecting portions of the site with neighboring Hyland Ponds Open Space trails.
The new facility will provide enhanced treatment processes including modern filtration design and mechanical systems to actively remove particulates from the water. Ozonation is an additional treatment process that may be included in the treatment facility based on City Council’s approval. Ozonation provides a second layer of disinfection against bacteria and viruses, reduces heavy metals including iron, manganese, and lead, and addresses pollution related to wildfire and algae blooms.
Design of the new water treatment facility is already underway and scheduled for completion in late 2024 after a public engagement process. The community will start to see activity on the site as early as this summer, and construction is expected to be completed in 2028.
The City will begin a public engagement process to gather additional feedback from the community later this year.
The link between wildfires and our drinking water may not be obvious. When we watch the news and see crews battling wildfires hundreds of miles from our home, we don’t typically think about our drinking water. But maybe we should.
It isn’t about how much water goes to fighting the flames—it’s about the devastation and contamination the wildfire leaves behind. Westminster, in partnership with several Front Range communities, has been actively working to mitigate fires in our watershed for decades because a single wildfire could contaminate our source water for years after it’s been
the highest potential for wildfires. Armed with this knowledge, crews will be able to mitigate wildfires in our watershed.
That’s not all the City is doing to protect our ability to provide clean, safe, and affordable drinking water. We’re also building a new, modern water treatment facility. The new plant will feature bigger, more robust filters that are better equipped to handle potential contamination from a major wildfire.
The future of Westminster’s drinking water is clear: although we should all do our part to prevent forest fires, you can rest assured knowing the City works hard to make sure our water is safe and clean. extinguished.
To help keep our water clean, Westminster partnered with the Upper Clear Creek Watershed Association to complete a watershed assessment. This study identified areas with
Westminster’s drinking water is monitored for over 100 different substances on a strict sampling schedule, and more than 1700 water samples are taken annually across the entire distribution system. The water we provide to residents and businesses must meet specific state and federal health standards. To help you better understand what is in your drinking water, we are sharing the 2022 test results for regulated substances that were detected. The “Amount We Found” that is referenced in the tables on the following pages is reported as the maximum amount detected unless otherwise noted.
The frequency of testing for individual substances is determined by CDPHE based on the likelihood that the concentrations of the substance will change over time. Some test results are for samples that were collected in 2021.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL)
The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG)
The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Treatment Technique (TT)
A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water.
Health-Based
A violation of either an MCL or TT.
Non-Health-Based
A violation that is not related to an MCL or TT.
Action Level (AL)
The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment and other regulatory requirements.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL)
The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG)
The level of a drinking water disinfectant, below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU)
Measure of the clarity or cloudiness of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the typical person.
Highest Level Allowed
Single or calculated value used to determine if regulatory contaminant level (e.g. MCL) is met. Examples of calculated values are the 90th Percentile, Running Annual Average (RAA) and Locational Running Annual Average (LRAA).
Failure to meet a Colorado Primary Drinking Water Regulation.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L)
Measure of the radioactivity in water.
Parts per million = Milligrams per liter (ppm = mg/L)
One part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000.
Parts per billion = Micrograms per liter (ppb = ug/L)
One part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Not Applicable (N/A)
Does not apply or not available.
90th percentile (P90)
The Amount We Found levels reported for lead and copper represent the 90th percentile of the total number of sites tested. The 90th percentile is equal to or greater than 90% of our lead and copper test results.
Indicates that the substance was not found by laboratory analysis.

0.44 0.58
1 The MCL for Gross Beta Particle Activity (Beta Emitters) is 4 mrem/year. Because there is no simple conversions between mrem/year and pCi/L the Environmental Protection Agency considers 50 pCi/L to be the level of concern for Gross Beta Particle Activity (Beta Emitters).
2 The Amount We Found for Chloramine represents the average of all individual sample results collected in the distribution system. 100% of the samples collected at the entry points to the distribution system met the TT requirement that for no more than four consecutive hours the chloramine result must be at least 0.2 mg/L.
3 Radium-228 is an individual alpha particle activity emitter, however it is not included in the gross alpha particle activity (Apha Emitters) and is measured separately. Radium-228 sample results are combined with radium-226 sample results for the purposes of determining compliance.

4 Total Organic Carbon is regulated as quarterly running annual average (RAA). HAA and TTHM are regulated as locational running annual average (LRAA). The Amount We Found represents the highest RAA or LRAA, and the Range Low-High represents individual sample results.
5 Turbidity is measured at the water treatment plant to assess cloudiness of the water as a good indicator of the effectiveness of the filtration process. The highest turbidity result was recorded in January 2022.
6 Copper and lead were measured at residential taps throughout the city in 2021. The Action Level (AL) for lead and copper applies to the 90th percentile (P90) of all samples collected for each contaminant (e.g. 90% of all sample results for copper must be below 1.3 ppm). Amount We Found represents the 90th percentile and the Range Low-High represents individual sample results. One sample exceeded the AL for lead at 23 ppb which was traced to the homeowner sampling a water faucet that did not meet sampling criteria. The AL was not exceeded for copper at any location.
Some substances present in the drinking water are not strictly regulated because they do not pose a health risk Total

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems especially for pregnant women and young children. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking, cooking or preparing baby formula. You can also use a filter certified by an American National Standards Institute accredited certifier to reduce lead in drinking water.
Additional information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline 1-800-426-4791 or at epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
In 2019, the City inspected the water service lines for single family homes to verify that pipes on either side of the water meter were made of copper and not lead. CDPHE and the EPA have established new rules about needing a second point of verification that there are no lead service lines. As we work with our partners at the State you may hear from us as we continue to verify that no lead was found for our single-family residential lines.

We are required to monitor your drinking water for specific contaminants on a regular basis. Results of regular monitoring are an indicator of whether or not our drinking water meets health standards. During January 1–31, 2022 we did not complete all monitoring or testing for chlorine residual and therefore cannot be sure of the drinking water quality during that time.
During the month of January 2022, the City of Westminster’s Northwest Water Treatment Facility was required to collect a total of 186 chlorine residual samples from the drinking water being pumped from the plant and into the distribution system. Though samples were collected and analyzed each day; due to online instrument failure only 171 samples were collected and analyzed. This resulted in a drinking water monitoring violation, which requires this public notification as directed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).
What does this mean? What should I do? This monitoring error was a violation, but did not impact public health so customers do not need to seek alternative water supplies or take further actions. If a situation arises where the water is no longer safe to drink, you will be notified within 24 hours.
What is being done? This violation was resolved by January 31, 2022 through enhanced, daily instrument verification procedures and improvements to online instrument programming sensitivity which will alert staff to a malfunction.
You may contact the City’s Utilities Water Treatment staff at 6575 W. 88th Avenue, Westminster, CO, 80031 or 303-658-2500 for additional information regarding this public notice.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in public places or by distributing copies.
For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and microbiological contaminants, call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or visit cdc.gov/parasites/crypto.
In order to ensure that drinking water is safe, CDPHE prescribes regulations that limit the amounts of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. The Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same level of protection for public health.
The water sources for tap and bottled water include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or underground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals including potentially radioactive material, and it can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbiological contaminants: Viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants: Salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies pollutants and their impacts to the environment and people to determine the Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL). Every water utility, including Westminster, is required by law to not exceed the MCL.
The Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) is the level at which there are no known effects on a person’s health with an additional margin for safety. The MCL is set as close as possible to the goal.
Sometimes the MCL is higher than the MCLG. This is because of one of three possible reasons:
(1) The technology needed to measure such small quantities of the MCLG is not available;
(2) The technology needed to remove the pollutant or reduce it to the MCLG is not available yet; or
(3) The cost of treating the pollutant to the MCLG outweighs the potential benefit of a lowered standard.
Pesticides and herbicides: May come from a variety of sources, such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff and residential uses.
Radioactive contaminants: Can be naturally occurring or a result of petroleum production and mining activities.
Organic chemical contaminants: Synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.
For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, call the U.S. EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 800-426-4791 or visit epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water
QWhat should I know about fluoride in the water?
AThe City of Westminster does not add fluoride during the treatment process. The 0.58 part per million fluoride level in the drinking water is from natural sources in the environment and is less than the recommended 0.7 part per million concentration established by the U.S. EPA for drinking water.
QWhat if I need help paying my water bill?
AWe understand that financial hardship happens, and we are here to support you with multiple opportunities. Income-qualified residents can view all programs and apply for assistance online at cityofwestminster.us/WaterBillAssistance or call 303658-2392 with any questions. Programs include:

AWestminster tested untreated source water and treated water for 18 PFAS compounds in March 2020. No PFAS compounds were detected in any of the treated water samples. The City is scheduled to analyze the finished water quarterly in 2024 for 29 PFAS compounds as required by the EPA for UCMR5.
PFOA and PFOS are fluorinated organic chemicals that are part of a larger group of chemicals referred to as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). PFOA and PFOS have been the most extensively produced and studied of these chemicals. The U.S. EPA proposed lowering the limit for PFAS substances earlier this year to a level it can be reliably measured at four parts per trillion – the equivalent of four drops for a 6-acre lake. The City of Westminster continues to work in partnership with the CDPHE and the EPA. We are monitoring and complying with new guidelines as they are established. PFASs have been used to make carpets, clothing, fabrics for furniture, paper packaging for food, and other materials (e.g., cookware) that are resistant to water, grease, or stains. They are also used for firefighting at airfields and in a number of industrial processes. B ecause these chemicals have been used in an array of consumer products, most people have been exposed to them. Between 2000 and 2002, PFOS was voluntarily phased out of production in the U.S. by its primary manufacturer. In 2006, eight major companies voluntarily agreed to phase out their global production of PFOA and PFOA-related chemicals, although there are a limited number of ongoing uses. Scientists have found PFOA and PFOS in the blood of nearly all the people they tested, but these studies show that the levels of PFOA and PFOS in blood have been decreasing. While consumer products and food are a large source of exposure to these chemicals for most people, drinking water can be an additional source in the small percentage of communities where these chemicals have contaminated water supplies. Such contamination is typically localized and associated with a specific facility, for example, an industrial facility where these chemicals were produced or used to manufacture other products or an airfield at which they were used for firefighting.
Public Works and Utilities crews complete maintenance and flushing of all 4,482 fire hydrants in the city each year to ensure reliability and distribution water quality.
Dave,
Although water is a precious and limited resource across the West, it is especially important in Colorado. Our four river basins — the Colorado, Platte, Rio Grande, and Arkansas — are the water source for 17 downstream states. Thanks to years of careful planning and strategic investments, Westminster has enough water for its current and future water needs as long as development continues in line with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, the Wattenberg Reservoir is completed, and water conservation trends continue.
Drought remains the greatest threat to the city’s water supply. Conservation measures by our residents and businesses continue to be the best way for the city to secure its water supply.
Visit www.cityofwestminster.us/conservation to learn more about programs to reduce water usage.
Westminster’s average residential customer uses four times more water in a summer month than in a winter month to water their lawn and other outdoor irrigation needs.
The City offers a number of programs to help residents reduce their outdoor water usage. The City will pay up to $750 towards the cost of removing lawn and replacing it with Colorado-friendly plants. The City also sells discounted water wise garden kits and provides FREE irrigation system consultations.
