SUNSHINE MESA DOMESTIC WC is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 76 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 19 entries between 1995 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 19 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Total Coliform Rules.
