When it comes to drinking water, it is our priority to ensure the proper precautions and safeguards are employed long before the water reaches our customers. Todd Creek Village community’s water supply is sourced from the South Platte River.

Our water rights allow us to utilize water out of the South Platte River (a renewable water source), purify it and distribute it through our potable distribution system. We have several storage reservoirs that allow us to store water from the South Platte River water for use whenever we need it. We are required by law to provide a water quality report, also known as a Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), by July 1st of each year. This report lists the regulated contaminants, if any, for that year’s sampling requirements.

The results, along with the Safe Drinking Water Maximum allowable level, are always on the CCR. All of the water quality tests during the year’s sample period will be reported on the CCR, which includes results from the previous year. Thus, the current CCR will be dated from the previous year. You can be assured that TCVMD continues to meet and/or exceed all State and Federal water quality standards as set forth by the 1996 Safe Drinking Water Act and any other subsequent revisions.

Dual Pipe Water Distribution

A dual distribution system delivers both potable and non-potable irrigation water through two separate distribution networks. Both networks have their own pipelines and pump stations. The two networks (potable and non-potable) work independently of each other within the same service area and create the dual-pipe distribution system. The dual-pipe system is advantageous as it supplies raw water for outdoor irrigation purposes that don’t require complete treatment. Dual-pipe systems allow for increased reliability during times of drought.

Potable Water

From the Reverse-Osmosis Water Treatment Plant

Water from all sources intended for drinking water consumption flows through a reverse-osmosis water treatment plant before delivery to our customers. Reverse-osmosis (RO) is one of the most technologically advanced water treatment processes. Using pressure and membranes, RO can remove bacteria, pharmaceuticals, and other undesirable particles from drinking water.

Irrigation

The irrigation system (minimally treated raw water) is completely separate infrastructure from the purified drinking water supply system.

The use of minimally treated water for irrigation means that use of a raw water irrigation system (primarily filters) will lessen the clogging of your irrigation system.
