LAWS AND REGULATIONS
• POTABLE WATER SUPPLY SYSTERS
STATUTORY AUTHORITY FOR PUBLIC HEALTH ASPECTS
The statutory authority for various public health aspects of
public water supplies in Colorado exists in several statutes.
Article I of Chapter 66 of 1963 Colorado Revised Statutes per-
tains to the Colorado Department of Health and contains several
items which will be discussed in this document.
ESTABLISHMENT AND ENFORCEMENT OF STANDARDS
Section 66-1-7(6) provides that the Department of Health shall
have the power and duty to "establish and enforce minimum gen-
eral sanitary standards as to the quality of water supplied to
the public, including authority to require disinfection of such
water, and to advise with municipalities, utilities, institu-
tions, and individuals, concerning the methods or processes be-
lieved best suited to provide the protection or purification of
the water to meet such minimum general sanitary standards; x x ."
MINIMUM GENERAL SANITARY STANDARDS DEFINED
The phrase "minimum general sanitary standards" is further de-
fined in Section 66-1-7(19) to mean "the minimum standards
reasonably consistent with protection of the public health, and
in the case of minimum general sanitary standards as to the qual-
ity of water supplied to the public, the same shall in no event
be less than the Drinking Water Standards of the United States
Public Health Service. The word 'standards' as used in this
section shall mean,standards reasonably designed to promote and
protect the public health."
PLANS REVIEW
Section 66-1-7(20)(g) gives the Colorado Department of Health
the power and duty "to examine plans, specifications, and other
related data pertaining to the proposed construction of any and
all publicly or privately owned community water facilities sub-
mitted for review of sanitary engineering features prior to con-
struction of such facilities."
CROSS -CONNECTIONS UNLAWFUL
Section 66-1-14(1)(a) & (i) provides that it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person, association, or corporation and the
officers thereof "to make, install, maintain, or permit any
cross -connection between any water system supplying drinking
water to the public and any pipe, plumbing fixture, or water
system which contains water of a quality below the minimum
general sanitary standards as to the quality of drinking water
supplied to the public; or to fail to remove such connection
within ten (10) days after being ordered in writing by the
Department to remove the same. For the purpose of this para-
graph (i), the term 'cross -connection' shall mean any con-
nection which would allow water to flow from any pipe, plumbing
fixture, or water system into a water system supplying drinking
water to the public."
UNLAWFUL TO VIOLATE REGULATIONS
Section 66-1-14(1)(a) & (b) provides that it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person, association, or corporation and the
officers thereof "to willfully violate, disobey, or disre-
gard the provisions of the public health laws or the terms of
any lawful notice, order, standard, rule, or regulation issued
pursuant thereto;"
-PENALTIES
Section 66-1-14(4) provides that "any person, association, or
corporation, or the officers thereof who shall violate any
provision of the Section, upon conviction, shall be fined not
to exceed $1,000 or be imprisoned for not to exceed one (1)
year, or be both fined and imprisoned, and in addition to such
fine and imprisonment shall be liable for any expense incurred
by health authorities in removing any nuisance, source of filth,
or cause of sickness. Conviction under the penalty provisions
of this Article or any other public health law shall not re-
lieve any person from any civil action in damages that may exist
for an injury resulting from any violation of the public health
laws."
MUNICIPAL INTAKE CONTROL
In addition to the regulatory powers of the Colorado Department
of Health cited above, cities and towns have the authority
under the provisions of Section 139-32-1(35) to protect their
watersheds within five (5) miles of their water supply intakes.
This Section provides, as part of the powers and duties of cities
• •
and towns, the authority "to construct or authorize the con-
struction of such water works, without their limits, and for
the purpose of maintaining and protecting the same from in-
jury and the water pollution, their jurisdiction shall extend
over the territory occupied by such works, and all reservoirs,
streams, trenches, pipes and drains, used in and necessary
for the construction, maintenance and operation of the same,
and over the stream or source from which the water is taken,
for five (5) miles above the point from which it is taken; and
to enact all ordinances and regulations necessary to carry the
power conferred in this subsection into effect."
STANDARDS FGR THE QUALITY OF WATER SUPPLIED TO THE PUBLIC
The standards for the quality of water supplied to the public
are reproduced in toto at the end of this document. Basi-
cally these standards provide requirements and interpretations
under nine (9) different headings.
An overview of these nine (9), sections is giwn below for
information.
Definition of Terms:
Several teras are defined by telling what is meant by
such phrases as adequate protection by natural means,
adequate protection by treatment, health hazards, pol-
lution, and the standard sample.
Source and Protection:
This section requires that the water supply be protected
• by adequate treatment and that the health hazards be
sought out and eliminated.
Bacteriolozical Q,ualit;L:
Standards for bacteriological quality require that in
any one (1) month the density of coliform organisms
not exceed one per hundred milliliters. This is read
directly when the membrane filter procedure is used;
for the multiple tube fermentation test (using ten (10)
milliliter portions) not more than 10% of the portions
can be positive in any one month. High density samples
shall not occur more than 5% of the time.
Physical Quality:
Standards are set for maximum turbidity (5 units), color
(15 units), and threshold odor number (3).
-3-
Chemical Characteristics:
Mandatory standards are set for maximum concentrations
of toxic substances such as arsenic, barium, cadmium,
chromium, cyanide, fluoride, lead, selenium, and silver.
Recommendations are made for limiting concentrations of
some relatively harmless but possibly objectionable sub-
stances. An example of these is chloride. In addition
the recommended limits contain a lower limit for some of
the items for which mandatory limits are set. An example
of this is arsenic. The maximum concentration permitted
is 0.05 ppm, but it is recommended that the concentration
not exceed 0.01 ppm.
Radioactivitz:
Standards are set for the maximum concentration of radio-
active substances.
Recommended Analytical Methods:
This section specifies references to various test pro-
cedures to be used.
Hazardous Cross -connections:
This section prohibits cross -connections to the public
water supply. These regulations were adopted prior to the
enactment of the law cited previously, but there is no in-
consistency between the regulations and the statute.
Disinfection:
This section contains a requirement that all drinking
water shall be disinfected with chlorine to maintain
a measurable amount of chlorine in water in all parts
of the distribution system.

4. Physical characteristics.
(a) Sampling. The frequency and manner of
sampling shall be determined by the reporting
agency:and the certifying authority. Under nor-
mal circumstances samples should be collected
one or more time:, per week iron representative
points in the distribution system and exanined
for turbidity, color, threshold odor, and taste.
(b) Limits. Drinking water should contain
no Impurity which would cause offense to the
sense of sight, taste, or smell. Under general
use, the following limits should not be ex-
ceeded:
Turbidity - 5 units
Color - 15 units
Threshold odor number - 3
5. Chemical characteristics.
(a) Sampling.
(1) The frequency and manner of sampling
shall be determined by the reporting agency and
the certifying authority, Under normal circus -
stances, analyses for substances listed below
need be made only semi-annually. It, however,
there is some presumption of unfitness because
of the presence of undesirable elements, coo -
pounds, or materials, periodic determinations
for the suspected toxicant or material should be
made more frequently and an exhaustive sanitary
survey should be rade to determine the source of
the pollution. Where the concentration of a
substance is not e;pected to increase in proc-
essing and distribution, available and accept-
able source, water analyses performed in accord-
ance with standard methods may be used as ev-
idence of compliance with these Standards.
(2) Where experience, examination, and
available evidence indicate that particular sub-
stances are consistently absent from a Water
supply or below levels of concern, seni-annual
examinations for those subatances may be oultted
when approved by the reporting agency and the
certifying authority.
(3) The burden of analyses may be re-
duced in many cases by using data iroa accept-
able sources. Judenent concerning the quality
of water supply and the need for performing
specific local analyccs nay depend in part on
information produced by Such agencies as (1) the
U. S. Geological Survey, anich deterninos chea-
ical quality of surface and ground waters of tie
United States and publishes: these data in "'hater
Supply Pcpera " and other reports, and (11) the
U. S. Public Health Service which determines
water quality related to pollution (ur the ab-
sence of pollution) in the principal rivcr3 of
the Nation and publishes these data annually In
"National Water Quality Network". Data on pol-
lution of waters as nea3ured by carbon chloro-
form extracts (CCE) may be found in the latter
publication.
(b) Limits. Drinking water shall not con-
tain impurities in concentratlona which nay be
hazardous to the health of the consumers. It
should not be excessively corrosive to the Water
supply system. Substances used in its treatr.ent
shall not remain in the water in concentrations
greater than Sub-
stances required
tances hich mahave deleterious t
terious physiological
effect, or for which physiolo 1 effects are
not known, shall not be introdu d into the sys-
tem in a canner which would permit them to reach
the consumer.
(1) The following chemical substances
should not be present'ln a water supply In ex-
cess of the listed concentrations where, in the
judgment of the reporting agency and the cer-
tifying authority, other more suitable supplies
are or can be made available

fluoride in average concentrations greater than
two times the optimum values in Table I shall
constitute grounds for rejection of the supply.

samples with sufficient frequency to determine
that the desired fluoride concentration is main-
tained.
6. Radioactivity •
(a) Sampling.
(1) The frequency of sampling and anal-
ysis for radioactivity shall be determined by
the reporting agency and the certifying author-
ity after consideration of the likelihood of
significant amount being present. Where con-
centrations of Ha 44G or Sru° may vary consider-
ably, quarterly samples composited over a period
of three months are recommended. Samples for
determination of gross activity should be taken
and analyzed more frequently.
(2) As indicated in (a)data from ac-
ceptable sources may be used to indicate compli-
ance with these requirements.
(b) Limits
(1) The effects of human radiation expo-
sure are viewed as harmful and any unnecessary
exposure to ionizing radiation should be avoided
The concentrations of radioactivity specified
below for drinking water are intended to limit
intake of these substances by this route so that
total radiation exposure of population groups
does not exceed appropriate Radiation Protection
Guides recommended by the Federal Radiation
Council. Concentrations which exceed, on the
average, the values presented below for a period
of one year shall constitute grounds for re,)ec-
ti n of the supply. Where the total intake of
Ra426 and Sruu from all sources has been deter-
mined, these limits may be adjusted by the
reporting agency anLi the certifying autthority so
that the total intake of Ra226 and Sr" will not
exceed 7.3 ppc per day and 73 ppc per day
respectively.

where the limit for unidentified alpha emitters
is taken as the listed limit for Ra226.
(2) When mixtures of Radium226, Stron-
tium90, and other radionuclides are present, the
above limiting values shall be modified to as-
sure that the combined intake is not likely to
result In radiation exposure in excess of the
Radiation Protection Guides recommended by the
Federal Radiation Council.
7. Recommended analytical methods.

Dear Mark:
July 26, 1974
We have reviewed the Van Rand Industrial Park
Preliminary Plans and have no comments or
recommendations to make on the proposal.
One question regarding Water Treatment and
Storage did surface however. On Page 1,
mention is made of a 2,500 gallons per day
treatment plant installed, and on Page 2, the
average daily consumption has been computed to
be 2,640 gallons. It would appear that the
treatment plant cannot supply enough treated
water to meet the average daily consumption,
much less the peak day usage of 4,752 gallons.
Sincerely yours,
Stewart A. Wheeler,
Area Manager

Due to the size, location and nature of the Van Rand Industrial Park, the fire hazard
relative to the development itself is limited. However the development itself, due to
increased human activity, does slightly increase the watershed type fire hazard to
adjacent land.
Although fire protection facilities are referenced in the paragraph titled "Water Storage",
no specific commitment relative to precise specifications is made. I would suggest that
approval of the protection phase of the preliminary plan be based on commitment to specific
recommendations by Insurance Services Office.
Sincerely,
LeRoy A. Scott

We have reviewed the preliminary plat and supporting documents for the proposed
Van Rand Industrial Park. We concur with the conclusions and recommendations
of the Chen and Associates, Inc. preliminary engineering geology report. In
particular "because of the varied subsoil conditions and limited scope of the
subsurface exploration, we recommend that once the building sites have been
determined a foundation investigation be conducted to determine specific subsoil
conditions and foundation design criteria."
If the recommendations of the Chen and Associates report are adhered to by the
developer, we see no reason why this subdivision should not be approved.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact our office.

Re: Van Rand Industrial Park - Preliminary Plan
Dear Sir:
We have reviewed the preliminary plat of the "Van Rand
Industrial Park" for the adequacy of Utility Easements
and find everything in order, however we find no dedication
of streets, or Utility Easements. We will need a dedication
over and through the Private Roads and Streets within this
subdivision, besides the present easements shown.
May we suggest the following phraseology be used for the
dedication use of easements within said subdivision.
A perpetual easement for the installation and maintenance
of utilities and drainage facilities, including, but not
limited to, electric lines, gas lines, telephone lines, is
reserved and dedicated over and through the PRIVATE ROADS
AND STREETS WITHIN THIS SUBDIVISION together with an
easement being ten and twenty feet in width along all
property lines, as shown on plat, together with the right
to trim interfering trees and brush. Together with perpetual
rights of ingress and egress for installation, maintenance
and replacement of such lines. Said easements and rights
shall be utilized in a reasonable and prudent manner.
The above request is in accordance with C.R.S. 106-2-34 (3)
(d) (viii) and the Colorado Land Use Commission's Model
Subdivision Regulation dated December, 1971, paragraph
5-2, Item #G-7.

The Mount Sopris Soil Conservation District Board has received and reviewed
the Van Rand Industrial Park Subdivision application containing approximately
14.5 acres and being located south of Glenwood Springs on Highway 82.
After a thorough review and discussion of the above application, the follow-
ing situations were noted by the Board:
There are three soils found on this site. One is a gypsum "outwash" and
found in a large amount. It could prove beneficial to have a soils engineer
perform a detailed on-site investigation as this gypsum content soil has many
limitations for building purposes.
The second soil has limitations of slight to moderate on building industrial
structures. However, limitations on a septic tank filter field are severe due
to the permeability of the soil. A larger than normal system may be needed.
The third soil has moderate to severe limitations for dwellings or buildings
due to the stoniness and steepness of the slope.
The Board members then made the following recommendations:
Due to the permeability of the soil texture and erosion possibility, the
drainage system ditches should either be widened to cut down depth and possible
erosion, or lined.
Due to the coarse texture and permeability of these soil types, a high pollu-
tion potential is inevitable. A community sewage system should be installed
and not one that would dispose of the effluent through ground absorption on the
property.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this subdivision plan.
Sincerely,

Re: Van Rand Industrial Park
Dear Mr. Bean:
This is to acknowledge receipt of preliminary plan material for
the above referenced development. As requested, I have reviewed the
water supply plan and the following comments are presented for your
consideration:
1. The estimated water requirement of 2240 gallons
per day is based upon no outside uses of water
and providing water for employee use only. If
lawn irrigation or other commercial uses are to
be permitted, the water requirement should be
revised.
2. The discussion on the physical dependability of
the ground water resource to supply the develop—
ment is inadequate.
3 . The developer apparently intends to use a domestic
well for commercial purposes which is not legally
proper. A change in use must be obtained through
the Division Water Court in adjudication proceedings .
The well if adjudicated would have a fairly junior
water right and the legal availability of water under
this decree should be considered.
C. J. KUIPER
State Engineer
Due to the above, I do not recommend approval of this development.

This office was employed by Van Rand Industrial Park
to examine into the legality of the water rights, particularly
a producing well, in connection with the use of water from
the well in the industrial park.
This well was drilled, according to the State Engineer's
records, September 27, 1963, and has since that date been
beneficially applied. Its production is 20 gallons per minute,
and it is more than ample to supply the industrial park
requirements. The water from the well can be used for the
industrial park purposes.
The well has never been adjudicated though it has been
in use for more than ten years. The application for this
purpose is currently being made, and I anticipate that
adjudication will be had without objection.

RULING OF REFEREE
The above entitled application was filed on October -10,
19714, and was referred to the undersigned as Water Referee for
Water Division No. 5, State of Colorado, by the Water Judge of
said Court on the 6th day of November, 1974, in accordance with
Article 92 of Chapter 37, Colorado Revised Statutes 1973, known
as the Water Rights Determination and ADministration Act of 1969.
And the undersigned Referee having made such investigations
as are necessary to determine whether or not the statements in
the application are true and having become fully advised with
respect to the subject matter of the application does hereby
make the following determination and ruling as the Referee in this
matter, to -wit:
1. The statements in the application are true, except

3. The name of the claimant and address is Van Rand
Corporation, Box 1305, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. •
4. The source of the water is a well having a depth of
150 feet.
5. The well is located in Lot 1, Section 6, T. 7 S.,
R. 88 W. of the 6th P.M. at a point whence the Southeast Corner
of Section 1, T. 7 S., R. 89 W. of the 6th P.M. bears S. 17°
31' 49" W. 1,419.55 feet.
6. The use of the water is commercial and industrial.
7. The date of initiation of appropriation is
September 27, 1963.
8. The amount of water claimed is 0.044 cubic foot of

410
The Referee does therefore conclude that the above
entitled application should be granted in part and that 0.044
cubic foot of water per second of time, with appropriation date
of September 27, 1963', is hereby awarded conditionally to the
Van Rand Well No. 1 for commercial and industrial purposes,
provided always that said 0.044 cubic foot of water per second
of time is on the condition that said quantity of water be
applied to the above beneficial uses within a reasonable time;
subject, however, to all earlier priority rights of others and
to the integration and tabulation by the Division Engineer of
such priorities and changes of rights in accordance with law.
Application for a quadrennial finding of reasonable
diligence shall be filed in February of 1979 and in February
of every fourth calendar year thereafter so long as claimant
desires to maintain this conditional water right or until a
determination has been made that this conditional water right
has become an absolute water right by reason of the completion
of the appropriation._
It is accordingly ORDERED that this ruling shall be filed
with the Water Clerk and shall become effective upon such filing,
subject to Judicial review pursuant to Section 37-92-304 C.R.S.
1973.
It is further ORDERED that a copy of this ruling shall
be filed with the appropriate Division Engineer and the State
