How does Florissant Wsd compare with other water systems in Teller County?
By EPA's size categories, Florissant Wsd is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Teller County has 51 active public water systems. Its population served is about half of the county average of 465 people per system, and accounts for 1.1% of the 23,730 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Colorado, the 2,207 active systems average 3,400 people each. Nationally, the average active community water system reports serving 6,703 people, so Florissant Wsd is well below that figure.
What does “community water system” mean?
A community water system serves at least 15 connections used by year-round residents, or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents. Homes, apartments and mobile-home parks are served by these. Colorado has 1,068 active community water systems, 48% of the state's 2,207 active systems. Groundwater under the influence of surface water is well or spring water that the regulator has found to be affected by nearby surface water, so it is regulated under the surface-water treatment rules. 166 Colorado systems (7.5%) list groundwater under influence of surface water as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Florissant Wsd?
EPA lists Florissant Wsd as owned by a local government. The CO state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 12 of the 51 active systems in Teller County (24%) are also owned by a local government.
Does Florissant Wsd have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, one is health-based, and the most recent began in April 2026. The violations listed here began between June 2024 and April 2026. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting, 3 public notice, recordkeeping or other, 1 contaminant level above the legal limit and 1 reporting. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Public Notice (3 of them). EPA lists 10 as resolved, 1 as unaddressed and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Unaddressed means the violation is not resolved or archived and is not yet covered by formal enforcement. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
