LA VETA TOWN OF is one of 305 community water systems in Colorado in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 850 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 8 entries between 1991 and 2023, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2023.
Of the 8, 6 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 the Total Coliform Rules, the Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, and the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule.
