Our Water Source

Dallas Creek Water Company is a privately owned public water utility. Our first priority is to provide safe and refreshing water to our customers. Our water source is Dallas Creek and our diversion pump station is located on County Road 24. After filtration begins in the creek side gallery, the water is pumped uphill through a booster pump midway up Loghill Mesa.  It is then delivered to the top of the mesa to a third Pump Station.  From there it is diverted either to the water treatment plant or to the Divide Golf Course irrigation ponds. Our state of the art water treatment plant is located at 220 Ponderosa Drive.

Purity and Testing

We comply with all testing required by the State of Colorado Department of Health and Environment and the Environmental Protection Agency. Our test results are published annually in the Consumer Confidence Report and distributed to all of our customers. The report is also posted on this website for review.
