FAQ
Additional Information On Aurora, Colorado Tap Water
Is Aurora tap water safe to drink?
While Aurora water complies with all national health and safety regulations, contamination and hard water can still persist in the area. Aurora Water also conducts more than 85,000 water quality tests each year.
Is Aurora tap water hard?
Yes, the water is considered moderately hard. Average hardness levels are approximately 113 parts per million (ppm) as calcium carbonate, with reported ranges from about 56 to 154 ppm. Hardness in this range can contribute to scale buildup on fixtures, appliances, and plumbing over time.
Is there PFAS in Aurora tap water?
Recent sampling for Aurora, Colorado drinking water detected the presence of PFAS chemicals. The EPA is in the process of setting new maximum contaminant levels (MCLs), which range from 4 to 10 parts per trillion, equal to 0.00000000004 for PFOA and PFOS individually, and up to 0.0000000001 for PFNA, PFHxS, and HFPO-DA (GenX chemicals). As you can see in the water quality report, many samples do not meet these standards. Click here to learn more about our whole house PFAS filtration systems.
Does Aurora tap water have fluoride?
Yes. Fluoride is present at an average level of approximately 0.72 ppm, which is below the EPA maximum contaminant level of 4.0 ppm. Fluoride in the water comes from natural erosion of mineral deposits and is monitored regularly as part of routine water quality testing.
Where does Aurora get its tap water?
The region relies heavily on snowmelt-driven water sources supported by a diversified supply system. Water can travel up to 150 miles and is drawn from the Arkansas, Colorado, and South Platte river basins. Supplies are stored in approximately 12 reservoirs and lakes, including Aurora, Homestake, Jefferson, Pueblo, Quincy, Rampart, Spinney Mountain, Strontia Springs, Turquoise, and Twin Lakes. Additional water comes from South Platte River withdrawals and alluvial groundwater wells near Cherry Creek.
How is Aurora water treated?
Water is treated at three primary facilities. The Griswold and Wemlinger facilities can treat up to 80 million gallons per day. The Binney Water Purification Facility operates two treatment trains. Treated water is then disinfected before distribution.
Do I need a water softener or filter in Aurora?
Many homeowners choose additional treatment to address moderate hardness, taste concerns, or contaminants. A water softener can help reduce scale buildup caused by calcium and magnesium, while filtration systems can further improve drinking water clarity and taste at the tap.
Where can I get a local tap water quality report?

Testimonials
Why Do Aurora, Colorado
Homeowners LOVE Us?
We had a whole-house water filtration system installed and the difference was immediate. It’s such a relief knowing our family has great water throughout the house.
We were on the fence at first, but this system exceeded our expectations. Our drinking water is crystal clear, and my skin and hair feel noticeably better after showering. You can tell the quality is there.
After installing this system, our water feels softer, tastes better, and our fixtures stay cleaner. Wish we had done it sooner.
