Questions about water within the Quebec/ I-270 Corridor?
The South Adams County Water and Sanitation District recently detected elevated perfluorinated compounds (PFCs or PFAS) in samples of water tested from certain shallow groundwater wells in the Quebec/I-270 corridor that feeds into the district’s water supply prior to treatment. The district treats its raw water before delivering the final drinking water to its customers and has taken further steps to ensure its drinking water is safe. For more information about the district’s water, please visit www.sacwsd.org, call 303-287-6454 or email questions to wqinfo@sacwsd.org.
Residents who receive their water from a private drinking water well, are near this area and are concerned about PFC levels can call Tri-County Health Department at 303-288-6816 or email questions to ehwater@tchd.org.
More information on health effects of perfluorinated compounds is available on the CDPHE website: colorado.gov/cdphe/PFCs/health. For questions about your health, please call (303) 692-2606 or email cdphe_toxcall@state.co.us.
