When it comes to drinking water, we are here to help ensure the proper precautions and safeguards are followed long before the water reaches the homes of 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 system. We have several water storage reservoirs that allow us to pull water from the South Platte River 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
As the name implies, dual distribution systems involve the use of water supplies from two different sources to two separate distribution networks. Both systems, drinking and irrigation water, have their own separate pipelines, pump stations, and water sources. The two systems (potable and non-potable) work independently of each other within the same service area. Here the dual-pipe distribution system is used to supply drinking water (potable) water through one distribution (water piping) network and irrigation (non-potable) water through the other. The dual pipe system is used to augment public water supplies by providing raw water for purposes that don’t require treatment, primarily irrigation.
Potable Water
From the Reverse-Osmosis Water Treatment Plant
All sources of water for drinking water flow 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. Through the use of pressure and membranes, it 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.
