As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show 1 item for PARADOX PIPELINE CO that is open and awaiting resolution. None are health-based violations — open items of this kind are most often monitoring or reporting requirements, not water-safety findings.

PARADOX PIPELINE CO is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 200 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 38 entries between 1992 and 2026, of which 1 remains open; none are health-based.
Of the 38, 25 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 synthetic organic chemicals.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?
- A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
