How does Galbraith Estates compare with other water systems in Arapahoe County?
By EPA's size categories, Galbraith Estates is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Arapahoe County has 39 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 22,146 people per system, and accounts for less than 0.1% of the 863,682 people reported by systems filed under the county.

Nationally, the average active transient non-community water system reports serving 144 people, so Galbraith Estates is well below that figure.
What does “transient non-community water system” mean?

Colorado has 956 active transient non-community water systems, 43% of the state's 2,207 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 1,437 Colorado systems (65%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Galbraith Estates?

Does Galbraith Estates have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 6 are health-based, and the most recent began in January 2026. The violations listed here began between January 2024 and January 2026. By type: 6 contaminant level above the legal limit, 2 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 monitoring. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Nitrate (8 of them). EPA lists 8 as resolved and 4 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. 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.
