BEAR CREEK LOA is one of 1,060 community water systems in Colorado in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 190 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 15 entries between 2006 and 2025, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 15 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.
