Where does Woodland Park's Water come from?
About 2/3 comes from local wells, springs and streams. About 1/3 comes from Woodland Park's shares in canal and reservoir companies. Woodland Park pays Colorado Springs to deliver this water through Colorado Springs' Homestake Pipeline.
How hard is Woodland Park's water?
The range is 60 mg/L to 110 mg/L = milligrams/liter or parts per million.
Is fluoride added to Woodland Park's water?
No, but the level of naturally occurring fluoride in the water is 1.2 – 1.6 ppm, a little over the concentration recommended to help reduce tooth decay, but well below the EPA and State Health department maximum, 4.0 ppm.
Where does Woodland Park's wastewater go?
All wastewater discharged to the municipal sewer system is treated at the City's treatment facility located along Highway 67 at the north and of the golf course. Treated wastewater is discharged to Trout Creek, a tributary of the South Platte River.
Can I get free wastewater compost? Is it safe?
When available, compost is still given free to City wastewater customers and it makes an excellent soil amendment. The City's compost consistently meets EPA and State Health regulations for unrestricted use, but the City recommends against using it for vegetable gardens. Call 687-6016 for availability and more info.
