Arvada's water begins its journey high in the Rocky Mountains making it's way from the Fraser River and Clear Creek to one of Arvada's two water treatment plants. Water Quality Administrator, Evelyn Rhodes, leads the team who ensures that when Arvadans turn on the tap, we can trust that our water has been treated, monitored, and tested to protect our health and safety. Visit ArvadaCO.gov/Water-Quality (www.arvadaco.gov/459/Water-Qu...) for more information, including a map of Arvada's water sources.
In this episode, Evelyn shares more about:
• Arvada's annual Water Quality Report (www.arvadaco.gov/448/Water-Qu...)
• Lead in drinking water (www.arvadaco.gov/841/Lead-in-...) and the Service Line Replacement Program
• Source water protection (www.arvadaco.gov/456/Source-W...)
• PFAS (www.arvadaco.gov/454/PFAS-Inf...)
Editor's note: when discussing PFAS particles as parts per trillion, the analogy that Evelyn was trying to explain was that this would be equivalent to one penny in 10 billion dollars!
