District Customers to Receive Water Quality Report for 2010
All District customers will receive the 2010 Water Quality Report produced by Denver Water. This report will be mailed directly to District customers in May or early June. This report is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency. Bancroft-Clover Water and Sanitation District receives all of the treated water that is provided to customers from Denver Water under a Master Meter Distributor contract. The detailed Consumer Confidence Report will contain information about the sources of water and the specific areas that Denver Water has water rights. Denver Water stores water in five mountain reservoirs; Antero, Eleven Mile Canyon, Cheesman, Dillon and Gross Reservoir. Also included in the report will be details of the treatment process that the water will go through as it moves from the mountain reservoirs to the treatment plants and finally to the Bancroft-Clover Master Meters which measure all water that enters the Bancroft system. The remainder of the mailing will consist of water quality information. Denver monitors for microbial contaminants, inorganic contaminants, pesticides and herbicides, organic chemical contaminants and radioactive contaminants. Denver Water staff will collect nearly 13,000 samples and will conduct more than 44,000 tests every year. Using state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and testing techniques the Denver Water staff ensures that they are providing consistently excellent drinking water to all customers. Currently Denver Water provides water to over 1.3 million people in the Denver Metro Area. If you have any questions regarding the 2010 Water Quality Report please contact the District office or go directly to the Denver Water web site for more detailed information www.denverwater.org or call Denver Water at 303-628-6000.
Please Trim Trees and Bushes Around Fire Hydrants
If there is a fire hydrant near your property please trim trees and bushes to make the hydrant visible and easy to operate for members of the West Metro Fire Department in case of an emergency. If you need assistance or have questions please call the District office at 303-922-1113. Thank you!
Time to Prepare the Lawn for Summer!
Early April is the perfect time to begin to get the lawn ready for the summer growing season. Lawn aeration and an early fertilization will pay benefits later in creating a good healthy lawn to be able to withstand what could be a hot dry summer in the Denver metro area. It is not advised to turn on automatic sprinkler systems until late April depending on the weather. Usually there is still a period of freezing temperatures sometime in April and the District receives several calls every year of frozen or damaged sprinkler system piping on homes that turned the system on early.
