Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs drinking water

The residents of Manitou Springs have one of the best sources of drinking water in the nation, The Rocky Mountains. The water comes from snowmelt and natural springs on Pikes Peak, making our resident the primarily first time users. Being first time users means that the water has not been previously treated, consumed, or recycled. To ensure the quality of our water, we are diligent in protecting our watershed area and our water treatment plant. We take great pride in providing our customers with drinking water that meets or exceeds state and federal water quality regulations and standards.

Our customers are fortunate to have one of the finest sources of drinking water in the nation … the Rocky Mountains. Nearly 75 percent of our water comes directly from snowmelt near the Continental Divide, making our customers primarily first-time users of the water. Being first-time users means that the water has not been previously treated, consumed and recycled for use; therefore, it is free of many chemicals and pollutants. To ensure the quality of this precious drinking water, we are diligent in areas such as watershed protection and water treatment. We take great pride in providing our customers with drinking water that meets or exceeds all state and federal water quality standards.
