HILLTOP WC is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 285 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1993 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
Of the 10, 5 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 Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Lead and Copper Rule, and the Consumer Confidence Rule.
