CUCHARAS SANITATION AND WATER DISTRICT is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 343 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 33 entries between 1999 and 2024, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 33, 31 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 volatile organic chemicals, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule.
